Chapter 126: Luo Qianren and Qi Wuwei (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
July 24, 19 p.m.
Shanhai Hotel, 35th floor, tide viewing hall.
The floor-to-ceiling windows that cover the entire wall are covered by neon-shrouded steel jungles, and inside the windows are well-dressed, crowded with people, and full of lights.
Lao Luo wore a wide executive jacket, sat alone in the corner of the banquet, and quietly looked at the "big shots" who were chatting and laughing not far away.
Occasionally, he was not accustomed to picking up a goblet and taking a sip of an expensive red wine that seemed to him to be sour and bitter.
"Can't get used to drinking?" Someone sat next to him and quipped, "One bite is tens of thousands." ”
"My assessment is, it's not as good as draft beer."
Lao Luo put the wine glass aside, turned his head to glance at it, and faced a slightly clumsy face with a beard.
"Team, long time no see." He greeted with a smile.
"I haven't seen you in a while." Qi Wuwei lowered his head and straightened his sleeves, and then raised his head, revealing a pair of vicissitudes of life that were deeply embedded in his eye sockets, "I really didn't expect your kid to come back alive." ”
"It's really a disappointment for the Qi team. I've always had a great life. Luo Qianqian smiled, but his words were full of guns and sticks, "At least in the past two hundred years, you and the Qi family's group of kings and eight calves will not have the opportunity to yin my son." ”
"Huh."
Qi Wuwei laughed lowly, although he knew that with Luofu's temperament, most of them were wary of him, and they would not give him the opportunity to receive a righteous son, but he still said:
"As the old saying goes, a teacher for one day is a father for life. If you die, it will be a matter of course for me to take my son. At that point, we'll be a family. Therefore, I don't care about your offense and faux pas. ”
Old Luo Haha smiled and said:
"Team Qi, you're just thinking too much, I'm not too old, and my mental reserves are not bad, so it's not a problem to stay up for two or three hundred years old.
It's your Qi family, you have done so many things that lose your conscience, and the life span of Fulu that should be folded is almost broken, maybe one day as soon as you go out, you will be killed by the all-risk half-hanging mud-headed dragon.
But don't worry, with the friendship between the two of us fighting side by side and fighting with enemies and demons in the past, I definitely can't let you die without stopping.
It just so happens that aren't you happy to accept a righteous son and a righteous daughter?
When the time comes, I will spend a little more money and hire a bunch of singing white workers for you, so that they can play the role of filial sons and grandsons in front of your coffin. I promise to let you walk beautifully, brightly......"
Qi Wuwei listened to it and couldn't help but be angry, he understood who Luo Fu's bad energy revealed from time to time.
Co-authoring this Lao Luo is not a good match.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his head and carefully look at the familiar and unfamiliar middle-aged man in front of him.
In the battle to defend the mountains and seas twenty years ago, the other party was an ordinary soldier under his command.
Even just over a month ago, there was a huge gap between the two in many ways.
But today, the former little soldier dares to be angry with the crown as a parent, and takes the initiative to invite him, the former captain who has been strong all the way from youth to middle age, is really like a rotation.
After laughing dumbly, Qi Wuwei couldn't help but "kindly" reminded:
"If you want to make trouble with the Qi family, you can go to the third and fourth children, I have always been very good to Xiao Luo."
"Some time ago, in order to keep this child, I openly opposed the ancestor, and I was detained in the ancestral hall and knelt down, and I was not released until the day before yesterday."
"If you want to succeed, you have to tell who is your friend and who is your enemy. At least when it comes to children, our attitudes are absolutely the same. ”
"I really like Xiao Luo, this kid, I ......"
Before Qi Wuwei finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lao Luo:
"Just fool your buddy, don't cheat yourself."
"It's all a thousand-year-old yellow skin, what are you playing with me in "Yunmeng Strange Record"?"
"Don't think that Lao Tzu can't see your crooked intestines."
"You are indeed a person who loves and cherishes talents, and I really like my son."
"It's a pity, you'll be old too. I remember a mentor who once said that there is weakness in the family class. ”
"Ordinary people live in this life, they are tired day by day, they have suffered enough, and they can meet death naturally when they are tired."
"You people from different families...... Forget it, we won't beat you to death with a stick, just talking about you, you will definitely enjoy a lot of happiness in this life. ”
"Money, beauty, power, status...... Not to mention these worldly things, every time the mental realm climbs, every powerful card binding, it is a deep enjoyment of the soul. Can you give up? ”
"In other words, after enjoying so many blessings, are you afraid of death?"
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Luo Qianren replied to himself:
"Twenty years ago, we participated in the battle to defend the mountains and seas together, and I believe that you were not afraid of death at that point in time."
"But as time goes by, you get older, no longer young, and you have witnessed the decline of the invincible ancestor of the past, almost tortured by the ethereal immortality into a madman, and unconsciously, you have been rendered by that desperate emotion, and you have begun to become afraid of death."
"Qi Wuwei, at this moment, do you dare to touch your conscience and say, from beginning to end, you don't have the slightest idea of using my son as a reserve longevity source?"
Qi Wuwei was stunned when he heard this, and after being silent for a while, he raised his head and took a sip of blood-red wine, and only bowed his head for a long time and said: "Qianren, Qianren, you are really hidden." ”
Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the quick knife.
After wearing the mask for a long time, people's self-perception will gradually blur.
After such a period of time, Qi Wuwei even gradually accepted the identity of "good teacher".
Don't think it's a good thing.
For a person like Qi Wuwei, identity positioning is never a shackle, but a powerful psychological comfort to help them get rid of their moral burden.
To put it simply, every time he helps Luofu as a "good teacher", he will "touch" himself once.
When you are about to lose your life, you will unconsciously think "As a teacher, I have helped you so many times, and it is natural for you to give a little feedback and let the teacher live for a few more years", and then use Luofu, the "hidden source of life", without any psychological burden.
Even most of the time, Luofu doesn't need his help, and he will be counted as a "favor" by him.
It can be described as full of bandit logic.
Lao Luo can be very prosperous in the environment of Zhuxia, which pays attention to "human feelings", and it is difficult to say that he is also an old fox.
doesn't usually say it, it doesn't mean that he can't see the pickled things of the family.
I buried all these things in my stomach before, but I didn't want to endanger my wife and children.
But now, the people of the Qi family have hit his son with crooked thoughts, and he is too lazy to make peace with these people.
As the old saying goes, "The dragon has reverse scales, and if you touch it, you will be angry." ”
His wife and children are undoubtedly his scales.
It's a matter of parent-child, Lao Luo also lost his usual "Taoguang Yanghui", and as soon as he came up, he broke through Qi Wuwei's ugly and disgusting thoughts.
This behavior can be said to have directly torn apart the hypocrisy of the other party to deceive others and himself, and also made Qi Wuwei, a person who secretly harbored evil intentions and tried to occupy the moral high ground, re-examine his heart and deeply realize what he is.
Eating this blow straight to the lungs, Qi Wuwei's qi cultivation kung fu that he had practiced for many years was shattered, and he often wore a "mask" in front of people for the first time in front of a banquet, and his expression failed to manage in public, and he blackened his face in public, without hiding the treachery and gloom that pressed deep in his heart.
It is worth mentioning that the Qi family attaches great importance to the cultivation of younger generations.
Just as Qi Wenhan, the boss of the Qi family, in addition to his superb card-making skills and extremely outstanding family and business management skills, he is also a very good scholar, Qi Wuwei also has his own strengths in addition to card-making and battle cards:
He was a very good archaeologist.
In a career spanning two decades, he has traveled extensively into tombs and high-risk sites, earning valuable artifacts and historical information for the Alliance and his family.
About seventeen years ago, he had learned the highly mutilated story of a legendary figure through a historian's tomb mural.
That is the son of an official eunuch surnamed "Cao", judging from the performance of those fragmented stories, it is undoubtedly very appropriate to describe it with the word "Xiaoxiong".
He was deeply fascinated by the treacherous and evil but heroic personality charm of the other party.
In the rest of their lives, they are all pursuing each other's shadows.
He thought he had learned well, but in fact, he didn't even have a fur to play.
In his bones, he is a "hypocrite" who not only has a little personality flash, but also likes to deceive himself and stand on the moral high ground and psychological superiority.
Lao Luo's words were like a flying sword wrapped in a strong wind, which smashed the "white-faced play" he had been operating for many years, and made him remember what kind of person he was.
Qi Wuwei's chest visibly rose and fell with the naked eye, and at the end of the eyebrows on both sides, there were extremely obvious green tendons blooming.
Obviously angry.
"Suck ...... ...... "He took a few deep breaths.
Anyway, he is also the second heir carefully cultivated by the card master family, and his psychological quality is extraordinary, so he quickly adjusted, and smiled quite naturally: "You understand me so well, then I really can't keep you." ”
"Let's give it a try."
Lao Luo squinted his eyes and drank the scarlet wine in the cup, and for a while, his body and mind were surging, twisting into a vortex, and the momentum was as majestic as the mountains and the sea.
Qi Wuwei is not to be outdone, as a veteran master of Yunmeng, he was born in a family, whether it is mental reserves or card deck composition, he is in the higher echelon of his peers.
From beginning to end, I didn't believe that I would lose to a middle-aged rookie dog who had been mediocre for more than forty years.
"Anyone will say that it is a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip it."
Qi Wuwei rubbed his teeth, and the stubborn wrinkles that couldn't be covered by the perennial medical beauty were twisted together, making his face a little vicious.
Lao Luo unscrewed more than sixty-one bottles of glacier mineral water, rinsed his mouth, and spit into the lacquered gold mouthwash basin.
I just threw off my coat, rolled up my sleeves, got up and walked towards the card arena set up in the hotel.
Qi Wuwei shook his neck, loosened his muscles, followed closely behind, and left the table quickly.
There were quite a few men and women in the banquet hall.
Although Lao Luo and Qi Wuwei transmitted the sound with their hearts throughout the whole process, making it difficult for people to know the content of the conversation, these people still guessed through the facial expressions of the two that the two had just finished an unpleasant conversation, and they had to go upstairs to the card arena to "learn".
One is a well-known local family master, and the other is the spokesperson of the "nail" who has eaten up the dividends of the counteroffensive worldly plan, which of the two is stronger or weaker?
The answer in most people's minds is the former.
But even if this is a battle with "no suspense", these people still want to watch this "dragon fight" from the bottom of their hearts.
Since the official banquet will be held at noon tomorrow, today's dinner can only be regarded as a "partial seat" warmed up in advance, and it is not very important.
Therefore, the host family does not mind the full house of guests going upstairs to watch the game, and even has some expectations for it.
"Girl, do you want to go over and have a look?"
The middle-aged man in the big belly suit asked the girl who was not interested and yawned on the side.
"Looking at the age of these two uncles, most of them are the kind of old-fashioned old-fashioned card deck routines, and there is nothing new at all. Watching them fight, it is better to go back to the house and sleep. The three years of high school have been exhausting for me, and twelve hours of sleep a day is not enough. ”
The girl waved her hand, covered her mouth and yawned again.
"Well, you can't say that. Lao Qi is a famous archaeologist in Zhuxia, and Lao Luo is the first batch of beneficiaries of the new era, and they are not simple characters. The opportunity to observe this level of combat up close is hard to come by. ”
"You have a month, you have to report to the university, the competition in Shenjing is even more cruel, you pour a cart of bricks in the university town, and among the people who hit, for every ten, there are seven or eight champions and leaders in small places."
"Self-confidence is a good thing, but we can't start to be complacent before we have learned to 'walk'. Listen to Dad, go upstairs and have a look. This kind of game between masters will definitely benefit you a lot. ”
"Got it, got it."
The girl sighed lightly, waved her hand, and walked briskly towards the elevator entrance.
Similar scenes took place in all corners of the ballroom.
"That uncle seems to be Brother Fu's father, he is really generous!"
Zhou Bolang, who has a good impression of Luofu, praised loudly at the "children's table".
"Mr. Luo turned out to be Brother Fu's father......"
Since losing to Luofu, Song Fuzhou, who "didn't listen to anything outside the window with both ears and only made cards", raised his head in surprise.
Thinking of my father's high opinion of this "Mr. Luo" in the past two days, I can't help but have a strong interest in this battle.
"He seems to be beating my second uncle......"
Qi Wenhan's daughter-in-law and Qi Hongyun's sister-in-law Qi Tianxin hooked his side cheek with his fingers, and a sly smile gradually bloomed on his face:
"Luo Fu is so powerful, his father shouldn't be wrong, maybe he can really beat my second uncle all over the ground...... Walk! Let's go see the excitement! ”
"Tianxin, where are you standing? You can't turn your elbows out. That's our second uncle. Qi Hongyun couldn't help but say.
"Dear?" Qi Tianxin shrugged, smiled meaninglessly, picked up his coat, and walked towards the elevator without looking back.
Song Fuzhou and Zhou Bolang followed closely behind and left the table one after another.
Qi Hongyun grinded on the seat for a while, and finally couldn't resist his curiosity and quickly chased after him.
In the blink of an eye, the people in the banquet hall hula-la-la
The battle between Luo Qianren and Qi Wuwei also officially started at this moment.
