Chen Xi'an sat quietly on the side, he turned his head to look at the moon outside the window, and his expression was very calm. There are a lot of people in this room who are talking about something, and even arguing, but none of this seems to have anything to do with him. Those slightly noisy words are far less quiet than outside.

"Sorry......"

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng slowly walked over to him and sat down and said a word.

Bai Xiaosheng was wounded, and it was obvious that he was having some trouble facing the four falcons alone. The blood on his left shoulder was still thick, and the wound had not completely stopped bleeding. There is a bandage on his right arm, and it doesn't look like the wound is too light.

Chen Xi looked at him and shook his head slowly.

"Everyone seems to have some different opinions on how to deal with Cui Tie. ”

Bai Xiaosheng's face was a little embarrassed, as if Chen Xi felt a little embarrassed when he saw the dispute between several hall masters of their Strange Guest Hall: "Actually, the eldest brother can do whatever he says, and they all feel that what they said is right." It's not a way to quarrel like this after all, and the eldest brother is well-informed and still has to listen to him in the end. ”

Chen Xi smiled in his heart, it turned out that it was only Bai Xiaosheng who obeyed the words of the hall master and was willing to swear to follow, not everyone.

Seeing that Chen Xi didn't speak, Bai Xiaosheng thought that Chen Xi was angry at the coldness he had encountered. Those people only cared about arguing, completely forgetting that this battle would not have been won without Chen Xi. Chen Xi took action at the most critical time and helped the most critical person.

"What is the purpose of this war?"

Chen Xi suddenly asked, seeing that Bai Xiaosheng was a little surprised, he continued: "It is impossible to destroy the Black Tiger Gang in this battle, right? The strength of the Black Tiger Gang is at least twice as strong as that of your Yiketang. Besides, behind the Black Tiger Gang is still the Cui family, one of the nine gates of the rivers and lakes, and you don't even dare to kill Cui Tie now. And Cui Tie may be just a low-level slave in the Cui family. ”

He looked at Bai and asked seriously: "In this case, you know that it is impossible to do anything to the Black Tiger Gang, what is the purpose of fighting this battle?"

"Big Brother ......"

Bai Xiaosheng glanced back, his face was a little embarrassed: "Big brother said, no matter what happens to our Yike Hall, even if we are clean, but in the eyes of everyone, we are people on the underworld." We don't bully people, but people are still afraid of us, they stay away from us, they are hostile to us, as if we are going to take away their part at any time...... The underworld, after all, has a bad reputation. ”

"So what?"

Chen Xi asked.

Bai whispered in a low voice: "The eldest brother said that if you want the brothers of the Yiketang to really get ahead, so that the people are not afraid of us but agree with us and respect us, then you can't continue to live like this." The meaning of the eldest brother is that we should be the people of the imperial court. Only with an official identity can we brothers really raise their eyebrows. ”

"Big brother is right, isn't it?"

Bai whispered to himself, as if asking Chen Xi and himself.

"Perhaps......"

Chen Xi said three words noncommittally, and suddenly felt a little blocked in his heart. He couldn't tell who was right, but the quarrel in the room grew stronger.

"I don't say yes!"

The third hall master, Hu Donkey, slapped it on the table: "Big brother! In the past, we listened to everything you said, but I just couldn't agree to put Cui Tie back like this! You thought too benevolent to those beasts who ate human flesh and drank human blood! Do you think that if you let Cui Tie go, he will speak for us in the Cui family when he goes back? Do you think that our Yiketang can be absorbed by the imperial court? Look at the Black Tiger Gang! What does the imperial court need people like us?"

"Third brother, don't roar. ”

Guo Fangniu, who has the most upright and honest temperament, hurriedly persuaded: "The eldest brother is also thinking about the brothers, what have everyone been fighting and killing all these years? The first is not to be bullied, and the second is to mix things up." Isn't Big Brother thinking about us now?"

"Big brother, he is of noble birth, so naturally he can't wait to become a member of the court!"

The donkey roared.

"Shut up!"

The second hall master Gao Tang hurriedly looked at the hall master: "Big brother, don't care, the third brother is the animal character, what he thinks of and what to say, he is not disrespectful to you." ”

The hall master slowly stood up, walked to the incense table, lit a few incense sticks, inserted them into the incense burner, and bowed: "Since I Mu Lingsan has been the hall master of the Strange Guest Hall, there is not a day when I am not thinking about how to lead the brothers to live a good life. I know that several of you are a little resistant to my origin, but is my background a choice?"

He turned his head and looked at everyone: "That's right, the people of the Cui family may not care about us at all." But for the sake of the six hundred brothers of the Stranger Hall, I had to try everything. Everyone is messing around in Tianshu City, who doesn't want to return to their hometown? If they don't seek change, who can return to their hometown?"

"I don't want to hear that!"

Hu Donkey said loudly: "Anyway, if you put Cui Tie's bastard back, I just won't agree! You go and ask the neighbors how many people have been harmed by Cui Tie in the past few years! With the support of the household government, have the people on these streets lived a peaceful life for a day? How many people's daughters have been ruined, how many people's houses have been taken away, you can pretend not to see these, Lao Tzu can't pretend not to see them!"

"Hu Donkey!"

Gao Tang said loudly: "If you are so nonsense, don't blame me for being rude." ”

Hu Donkey stood up and strode out: "At the beginning, our brothers drank wine and ate meat in a big bowl, how happy they were, since the surname Mu came, he has changed, and he thinks about being absorbed by the imperial court all day long, if he doesn't think about his own future, I will unload my head! This Yike Hall was originally a place where a group of outsiders who lived in Tianshu City gathered to protect themselves, but now it has become a tool for some people to climb up to the official position, Lao Tzu is fed up, how are you willing to toss and how tossed, Lao Tzu will quit the Yike Hall now!"

"Third brother!"

Bai Xiaosheng was in a hurry when he saw the trouble, and hurriedly went over to stop Hu Donkey: "You don't dissipate your anger, who is not for everyone's good?"

"Don't talk to me!"

Hu Donkey pushed Bai Xiaosheng away: "Who doesn't know that you and the surnamed Mu are wearing a pair of pants!"

Bai Xiaosheng's face changed, and he stood there a little embarrassed.

......

......

Bang bang

A string of applause quieted the noisy people, and they involuntarily looked at the place where the applause had begun, only to see the young man who had been sitting on the side standing up and clapping with great interest.

"Ladies and gentlemen, farewell. ”

After Chen Xi applauded, he politely hugged his fists and turned around and walked out. Bai Xiaosheng hurriedly went over to stop him: "You have done us a great favor in the Strange Guest Hall, if it weren't for your righteous action today, we wouldn't have been able to win this battle with the Black Tiger Gang." You can't go, what I promised you hasn't been done yet. ”

He looked at Mu Lingsan as he spoke, obviously wanting Mu Lingsan to open his mouth to stop him. But Chen Xi saw very clearly from Mu Lingsan's eyes that this person didn't want to stay at all. Maybe it was out of caution, maybe it was for some other purpose, Mu Lingsan was very cold to Chen Xi on purpose.

"Friend, I haven't had time to thank you for today's events. ”

Mu Lingsan took a few steps forward and hugged his fists.

Chen Xi could tell from these words that Mu Lingsan wanted to leave as much as he could.

"You're so busy arguing that you naturally can't think of me. ”

Chen Xi looked at Mu Lingsan and said very seriously: "And I didn't say thank you for it, when I first arrived in Tianshu City, I planned to find a fairly stable backer, and find a group of like-minded people to be friends and take care of each other." I spent a day inquiring, and everyone said that the Stranger Hall was the best place. They said that everyone in the Strange Guest Hall is a brother, and entering the door of the Strange Guest Hall is a family, so I came. ”

He glanced around and shrugged his shoulders, "But now, it seems that the rumors are not so credible after all. Since this is the case, then let's not talk about righteousness or righteousness, let's go back to the beginning. ”

Chen Xi walked back and sat down in Mu Lingsan's somewhat surprised eyes, and asked word by word: "If there is no affection, let's talk about benefits." ”

The fifth Guo Fangniu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the fourth brother said before that this Chen brother should stay." According to the merits, he should be the hall master of our strange guest hall. ”

Bai whispered and clenched his fists and said, "Big brother, this is the morality of the rivers and lakes." ”

Hu Donkey laughed loudly and said to Chen Xi: "Brother, there is no morality in this place, and the house is full of people for their villains. If you look up to me, our brothers will go to the rivers and lakes in the future. ”

Chen Xi got up: "It's okay, you are the most real person in this room." Don't talk about the feelings, I don't even bother to tell him about the benefits, let's go. ”

Hu Donkey laughed, pulled Chen Xi and walked out. Bai Xiaosheng's anxious face changed color, and he glanced at Guo Fangniu, and the two of them hurriedly ran over to block Chen Xi and Hu Donkey.

Mu Lingsan's face was a little cold, and he suddenly pointed at Chen Xi and asked, "Who sent you!"

Chen Xi turned around and looked at Mu Lingsan with a contemptuous look: "What kind of people have what kind of thoughts in their hearts, I don't bother to explain anything." Since this place is far from what I imagined, I didn't plan to stay. If you think I've been sent by someone, kill me...... Do you dare? Cui Tie, you don't dare to move, you dare to move a person of unknown origin? Are you not afraid that I will really be instructed by someone behind my back?"

Mu Lingsan's heart gathered with true anger, obviously angry.

But his anger is actually not because of Chen Xi. He really felt that he was wholeheartedly thinking about the stranger, but Hu Donkey didn't appreciate it at all. As for the others, Bai Xiaosheng respected him the most, and whatever he said was what he was. And Gao Tang and Guo Fangniu actually did not agree with defecting to the imperial court.

Chen Xi shook his head slightly: "I have already offended you, it is really not interesting to stay in this place." ”

He reached out and patted Bai Xiaosheng's shoulder: "I fought side by side with you, and it was also fate." If you meet me on the street in the future, don't pretend you don't know me. Regardless of whether I mix well or badly in the future, I will treat you to a pot of wine. Last night, you asked me to drink your apricot blossom brew, I was afraid that I would drink and make a mistake, but now I regret it. Good friends are also warm in their hearts when they think about it after they get drunk at first sight, and some people are better off seeing it, and they will feel cold when they think about it in the future. ”

After saying this, Chen Xi strode out.

Hu Donkey scolded, turned around and glared at Mu Lingsan hatefully, and left.

The room immediately became deserted, and the atmosphere froze into ice. Bai Xiaosheng looked at Mu Lingsan, and then looked at the backs of Chen Xi and Hu Donkey, and had an urge to demolish the house.

Chen Xi said goodbye to Hu Donkey and returned to the small courtyard he rented. The people in the Strange Guest Hall are still abiding by the rules, and there are many men in Tsing Yi standing outside the door. They all knew Chen Xi at this time, and they all hugged their fists and saluted. Chen Xi returned the salute one by one, and then walked into the small courtyard and closed the courtyard door.

When he entered the house, he saw Chen Dingdong lying on the bed munching on a chicken leg.

"How?"

Chen Dingdang asked.

Chen Xi smiled: "Wait for someone, please let me go back...... Also, go back and ask Sukan to come over, I have to have someone by my side to easily contact. ”
