Chapter 50: Resurrection from the Dead
As soon as the words of the self-proclaimed old servant fell, Zhuang Feng was obviously stunned, and subconsciously opened his mouth wide, obviously looking incredulous, and he didn't even notice that the cigarette butt in his mouth fell to the ground;
Looking at Zhuang Feng's shocked appearance, Xu Wei obviously didn't know what was going on;
Xu Wei naturally heard what the person who claimed to be an old servant said, but he only knew why he didn't know why, and he didn't understand why Zhuang Feng was so shocked after hearing the words of the person who claimed to be an old servant;
With Xu Wei's understanding of Zhuang Feng, at least he had never seen anything that could make Zhuang Feng so unbelievable;
Zhuang Feng seems to be accustomed to everything, and it is needless to say that ten years ago, Zhuang Feng, as the designated heir of the Zhuang family, can shock him, in terms of Xu Wei, a guard bystander, there is really nothing;
It seems that when anything comes to Zhuang Feng, Zhuang Feng is a normal reaction of common sense that there is nothing new under the sun;
Not only was Xu Wei puzzled by Zhuang Feng's shock, but Yang Lin was also puzzled, because he, like Xu Wei, had a deep understanding of Zhuang Feng, and knew that no matter what happened in front of Zhuang Feng, he would always have a pearl of wisdom in his hands, and he had long known that he would feel like this;
Xiaoyu was a little curious about the appearance of Zhuang Feng's cigarette butts falling to the ground, and he didn't have any doubts like Xu Wei and Yang Lin, but Xiaoyu didn't say anything, just looked at Zhuang Feng's appearance of opening his mouth to eat people, which felt quite funny;
Just when Xu Wei and Yang Lin looked at Zhuang Feng with some heavy questions, and Xiaoyu looked at Zhuang Feng with some curiosity, Zhuang Feng suddenly jumped up, and attacked the person who claimed to be an old servant with his finger as a sword;
With Zhuang Feng's sudden attack, Xu Wei also attacked the person who claimed to be an old servant in an instant;
However, when Zhuang Feng and Xu Wei's attack came, the person who claimed to be an old servant seemed to have everything expected, and did not face the normal panic of a sudden attack, but seemed to have been prepared to fight back;
In an instant, Xu Wei exchanged hands with the man who claimed to be an old servant, and Zhuang Feng was half a beat slower, but Zhuang Feng's attack was also instantaneous;
Xu Wei and Zhuang Feng teamed up to attack the person who claimed to be an old servant, but they didn't have the upper hand for a while; Zhuang Feng and Xu Wei suddenly glanced up at the person who claimed to be an old servant, and at the same time, Xu Wei also understood why Zhuang Feng was so shocked;
Among Zhuang Feng's group of guards who are still alive today, if you really want to talk about martial arts, Xu Wei is ranked first, even stronger than He Li and Yang Lin, even ten years ago, when Zhuang Feng was surrounded by talents, Xu Wei's martial arts skills were able to squeeze into the top five, Xu Wei was only inferior to Yang Lin or He Li in other aspects;
However, as Zhuang Feng's personal guard, Xu Wei's martial arts skills are strong, so he is naturally the first choice, which is why when Zhuang Feng kept Yang Lin and Xu Wei by his side, He Li was relieved to go out;
However, under this fight, Xu Wei actually did not have the upper hand, and Yang Lin was also quite surprised to find such a situation;
Yang Lin believed in Xu Wei's martial arts, so when Xu Wei followed Zhuang Feng to make a move, Yang Lin didn't make a move, but just habitually protected Xiaoyu, but after seeing that Xu Wei couldn't have the upper hand, he immediately put Xiaoyu aside;
In Yang Lin's heart, Zhuang Feng is naturally more important than Xiaoyu; now that Zhuang Feng and Xu Wei have not yet gained the upper hand, Yang Lin naturally focuses on Zhuang Feng's safety, so he also attacked;
As Yang Lin made a move, Zhuang Feng naturally withdrew his hand and stepped aside;
With Yang Lin's cooperation, Xu Wei and Yang Lin captured the person who claimed to be an old servant in just a few moves;
After the person who claimed to be an old servant was captured by Xu Wei and Yang Lin, Zhuang Feng didn't show anything special, but changed from the original shock to the usual somewhat mysterious smile;
"Let's talk about it;" Zhuang Feng said aloud, as he lit a cigarette in his habit;
"Zhuang Shao, don't be like this;" The man who called himself an old servant listened to Zhuang Feng's words and said helplessly;
"That's it, some people don't remember to eat;" Zhuang Feng looked at the man who claimed to be an old servant, and said disapprovingly;
"Friendship, family affection, I can only choose family affection;" The man who claimed to be an old servant looked at Zhuang Feng's seemingly disapproving appearance, and said a little heavily;
"Where is he?" Zhuang Feng couldn't help but tremble as he listened to the words of the man who claimed to be an old servant, but he quickly asked calmly;
"Shaozhou City;" replied the man who called himself an old servant;
"Let it go;" Zhuang Feng said aloud as he listened to the words of the man who called himself an old servant;
Following Zhuang Feng's words, Xu Wei and Yang Lin let go of the person who claimed to be an old servant, although they didn't understand the words between Zhuang Feng and the person who claimed to be an old servant, but they also obviously found that Zhuang Feng's mood was a little different from what they saw on weekdays, so they didn't ask anything more;
"Go outside and wait;" Xu Wei Yang Lin let go of the person who claimed to be an old servant, and Zhuang Feng followed and said;
"Yes;" replied the man who called himself an old servant, and then turned and went out;
"Xiaoyu, if you don't go with me in this situation, you have to go with me;" Zhuang Feng said loudly as the man who called himself an old servant left;
"Hey, I'll get you, let's go;" said Xiaoyu helplessly;
"Thank you;" Zhuang Feng looked at the helpless Xiaoyu, and said quite seriously;
After getting Xiaoyu's answer, Zhuang Feng didn't say anything more, so he left with Xu Wei, Yang Lin and Xiaoyu;
The man who claimed to be an old servant outside the door was waiting respectfully, and when he saw Zhuang Feng coming out, he immediately greeted him;
The person who called himself an old servant was really good at doing things, and he vacated a car for Zhuang Feng, Xu Wei, Yang Lin, and Xiaoyu, and did not arrange his people;
Zhuang Feng didn't say much about this, or Zhuang Feng didn't have the slightest desire to speak at this time;
It was still Yang Lin who drove and Xu Wei guarded, Zhuang Feng and Xiaoyu sat in the back seat, and then set off with the convoy;
After getting in the car, Zhuang Feng didn't say a word, as if he habitually pillowed his head on the window, and seemed to be caught in some kind of thought; looking at Zhuang Feng's appearance, Xu Wei and Yang Lin naturally wouldn't bother, and Xiaoyu didn't speak, because Zhuang Feng was a little abnormal;
At this time, Zhuang Feng had already fallen into memories, and he didn't pay attention to the things around him;
The happy young master in the mouth of the self-proclaimed old servant is named Zhou Jian, and this name has an indelible memory for Zhuang Feng;
Zhou Jian and Zhuang Feng are almost the same, they are both so-called family gentlemen, and they are also the designated heirs of their respective families; the Zhuang family and the Zhou family are good friends, and Zhou Jian and Zhuang Feng, as peers, naturally met when the elders got together;
Zhou Jian's personality is cheerful and somewhat cynical, such a temperament is quite in line with Zhuang Feng's appetite, and the two naturally became brothers;
When Zhuang Feng was exiled to Jiangzhou, Zhou Jian secretly came to Jiangzhou alone to help Zhuang Feng, and followed Zhuang Feng to mix up on the streets; perhaps, it was Zhou Jian's behavior that made Zhuang Feng and Zhou Jian become real brothers;
Most of the major families will have some changes when their successors take the throne, and Zhuang Feng is no exception, but Zhou Jian, as the only son in the family, can avoid such changes;
Generally speaking, when there is such an accident in other families, most of them choose to wait and see, and then get some benefits from it; only Zhou Jian, after receiving the news of Zhuang Feng's exile, actually ran away from home alone and went to Jiangzhou to find Zhuang Feng, instead of participating in and calculating Zhuang Feng as Zhou Jian's heir;
For this matter, after Zhuang Feng really took control of the Zhuang family, Zhou Jian returned home and was almost broken by Zhou Jian's father;
This is not to describe Zhou Jian being punished by Zhou Jian's old man after he ran to help Zhuang Feng regardless of the interests of the family;
Zhou Jian is the only son in the family, it is said that no matter how angry Zhou Jian's father is, he will not be so heavy-handed, but this is the truth, as for why Zhou Jian's father would make such a heavy hand, Zhou Jian and Zhuang Feng both understand this;
Zhuang Feng's change, naturally other families will take the opportunity to encroach on interests, the Zhou family naturally has this plan, but when Zhou Jian went to Jiangzhou to help Zhuang Feng, although it was actually only Zhou Jian's personal behavior, but in the eyes of other families, the Zhou family supported Zhuang Feng;
In this way, the Zhou family and Ben could not cooperate with other families to encroach on the interests of the Zhuang family, and Zhou Jian's father was really angry about this;
Don't say that the Zhou family and the Zhuang family are world friends, the so-called world friends in front of interests will naturally be forgotten;
Not to mention that like the Zhou family and the Zhuang family, a family that dominates one side, even among ordinary people, in the face of interests, how many people can still adhere to friendship?
Zhou Jian and Zhuang Feng both understood this truth, Zhou Jian knew that he would definitely have to bear the anger of his old man when he went back after helping Zhuang Feng, but he still did it;
Zhuang Feng also understood this truth, so when Zhou Jian ran to Jiangzhou alone to find him, Zhuang Feng did not politely refuse there, but accepted Zhou Jian's kindness, and jokingly talked about Zhou Jian's jokes about breaking their legs when they went back;
Maybe friendships are established in tribulation, Zhou Jian and Zhuang Feng became brothers because of this;
After Zhuang Feng really took over the family, he unceremoniously annexed the Shaozhou family, because they were the most fierce and the most active in dealing with Zhuang Feng, as revenge or to establish Zhuang Feng's personal majesty, so the Shaozhou family became a victim;
However, it was precisely because of Zhuang Feng's behavior that the tragedy occurred;
Whether it is for revenge, to establish personal dignity or to expand for the interests of the family, the fact is that the Zhuang family has become the most powerful family in the southwest half of the country in the hands of Zhuang Feng, and at the same time, it has also broken the balance for many years;
Naturally, the other five major families in the southwest, including the Zhou family, conspired against Zhuang Feng and attacked Zhuang Feng;
As a result, Zhuang Feng, who was wrong, was fine, but it led to the death of Zhuang Feng's wife;
Such a result made the five major families a little panicked, and no one knew that such a result would make Zhuang Feng crazy;
As expected, Zhuang Feng was really crazy, and used all the strength of the Zhuang family to take revenge on the five major families, not only plotting to attack, but also openly starting a war;
This is the battle that shocked the world ten years ago when Zhuang Feng swallowed half of the southwest of the country, and those who did not know thought that Zhuang Feng was expanding the power of the family, and only those who knew the inside story knew that it was the five major families who angered Zhuang Feng and made Zhuang Feng crazy;
In the face of the blatant war of Zhuang Feng, who was already crazy, the five major families were obviously in a panic;
Zhuang Feng is already a madman, and he doesn't care about whether the strength of the Zhuang family can defeat the five major families, or whether the hidden power of the Zhuang family can survive, and whether the Zhuang family can survive after the first battle;
But the five major families are not crazy, they still have to think about the future of the family, it is precisely this reason that the five major families are defeated and retreated, and finally forced into a desperate situation by Zhuang Feng;
At the time of the last battle, the five major families had been forced to retreat to the mountains of Zhaozhou by Zhuang Feng, and it was at this time that the five major families remembered that Zhou Jian of the Zhou family had a lifelong friendship with Zhuang Feng;
Maybe the five major families didn't think of Zhou Jian's friendship with Zhuang Feng when they were in a desperate situation, but they were forced to do this, Zhou Jian's father had to sacrifice his son for the sake of the family;
Zhou Jian had no choice in this regard, and then went to see Zhuang Feng alone on behalf of the five major families during the confrontation in the final battle;
Zhou Jian explained the cause and effect, and Zhuang Feng also believed that Zhou Jian was unaware of his wife's attack, because Zhuang Feng knew Zhou Jian, or Zhuang Feng at that time already knew everything that had happened;
For the sake of the family, Zhou Jian lowered his head, hoping that Zhuang Feng would let them go;
In fact, Zhou Jian also knew that Zhuang Feng would not be able to stop, because he knew Zhuang Feng too well, and the reason why Zhou Jian lowered his head and begged Zhuang Feng was because he knew Zhuang Feng too well;
Zhuang Feng has a fatal weakness, that is, too much emotionality; with Zhou Jian's understanding of Zhuang Feng, or with Zhuang Feng's fatal weakness, if Zhou Jian lowers his head and pleads with Zhuang Feng, then Zhuang Feng may really stop here;
Yes, Zhuang Feng agreed to keep Zhou Jian's children, but everyone else had to die, including Zhou Jian's parents;
Such a result is also within Zhou Jian's expectations, Zhuang Feng does have a fatal weakness, but Zhuang Feng's wife and his relationship, for Zhou Jian and Zhuang Feng's brotherly relationship, such a choice will be very difficult, but Zhou Jian also knows how Zhuang Feng will choose;
Zhou Jian's last plea was to hope that Zhuang Feng could spare Zhou Jian's mother, but Zhuang Feng chose to refuse;
The struggle of interests has always been cruel, and Zhuang Feng is not the one who is indiscriminately kind; or Zhuang Feng's temper is so muddy, as long as he believes that ten cows can't pull it back; and Zhuang Feng thinks that the only thing that the Zhou family is not guilty of is Zhou Jian's two-year-old son;
So Zhuang Feng gave Zhou Jian the last chance to fight, if Zhuang Feng survived, then Zhou Jian's two-year-old son would naturally be taken care of by Zhuang Feng; if Zhuang Feng failed, then Zhou Jian only needed to bury Zhuang Feng and his wife together;
Regarding Zhuang Feng's proposal, Zhou Jian only said one sentence: "Friendship, family affection, I can only choose family affection;"
This is the last sentence that Zhou Jian left for Zhuang Feng, because Zhou Jian did not choose to fight Zhuang Feng, but chose to commit suicide;
Perhaps, if he Zhou Jian committed suicide, Zhuang Feng would look at his face and let his mother go;
Zhou Jian chose to commit suicide in front of Zhuang Feng, using a long sword that Zhuang Feng gave to Zhou Jian as a birthday gift;
Ten years ago, Zhuang Feng saw Zhou Jian commit suicide in front of him, and when Zhou Jian committed suicide, the last battle was not avoided, but Zhuang Feng did let Zhou Jian's mother and Zhou Jian's child go;
Today, ten years later, a person suddenly appeared and said that Zhou Jian was not dead, that is, the happy young master in the mouth of the self-proclaimed old servant;
Zhou Jian's nickname is Happy, and Zhuang Feng never calls Zhou Jian's name, but calls him Zhou Happy, jokingly saying that this name is good, and he is happy every week;
Zhou Xingxing, who had died ten years ago, suddenly appeared, with Zhuang Feng's concentration, it was also shocked and lost;
Zhuang Feng rested his head on the car window, but the thoughts in his heart recalled the events of the past, and tears slipped down his face unconsciously;
Seeing where Zhuang Feng was silently overflowing with tears, Xu Wei and Yang Lin seemed even more silent, they didn't know what Zhuang Feng remembered, but they knew that it would definitely not be a happy thing;
"Young master, it's here;" After Yang Lin stopped with the convoy of the person who claimed to be an old servant and signaled to the place, Xu Wei said a little heavily;
"Give me a cigarette;" Zhuang Feng reacted with Xu Wei's words, habitually took out a cigarette in his pocket, but he didn't find it, and said in passing;
Xu Wei handed Zhuang Feng a cigarette, watched Zhuang Feng habitually burn it, and rubbed it on his face with the palm of his hand through the smoke, wiping away the tears on his face;
Wiping away the tears on his face, Zhuang Feng returned to his usual appearance, put his mouth in his mouth, opened the car door, and looked around casually;
The night was already a little deep, and it looked like it was at the gate of a flower market, but it was already closed, and only a few street lamps for lighting were on;
"Zhuang Shao, please;" The man who called himself an old servant respectfully came over to lead the way;
Zhuang Feng smiled and followed the man who claimed to be an old servant into the flower market;
Walking to the innermost part of the flower market, Zhuang Feng saw a store still open, and there was a person in it who was fiddling with the flowers and trees in the store;
"Please Zhuang Shao go by himself, and I will be absent from you;" said the man who called himself an old servant, and when he could see clearly the flower shop that was still open, he said in a loud voice;
Zhuang Feng didn't respond, just smiled and walked straight to the flower shop;
As Zhuang Feng walked towards the flower shop, Xu Wei Yang Lin and Xiaoyu also accompanied him, but were stopped by the person who claimed to be an old servant;
"The Lord has only seen Zhuang Shao alone;" said the man who called himself an old servant;
"Stay out of sight;" Zhuang Feng said in response to the man who called himself an old servant;
"Yes," said the man who called himself an old servant;
After receiving a response, Zhuang Feng didn't say anything more, and walked to the flower shop;
There was a man with long hair in the flower shop, who was fiddling with a pot of flowers, and when he saw Zhuang Feng coming, he immediately stretched his waist and stood up to look at Zhuang Feng;
"Seventh brother;" the man looked at Zhuang Feng and greeted him loudly;
The man's words were quite calm, but Zhuang Feng could see that the person in front of him was just trying his best to suppress his emotions and try to pretend to be calm;
"Zhou Jian;" Zhuang Feng greeted calmly;
Listening to Zhuang Feng's words, Zhou Jian was obviously a little lost, because Zhuang Feng's words were too calm, and he didn't have the previous title, which was quite polite;
A person who has been dead for ten years suddenly appeared again, and then there was the entangled love and hatred of the year, thinking that Zhuang Feng had a guard in his heart, that was normal, maybe Zhuang Feng was willing to come to see him Zhou Jian, it was already based on the love of the year;
"Seventh brother, I'll help you get a bowl of thugs;" Although Zhou Jian was a little disappointed, he also reacted quickly and said loudly;
Thug is the name of a camellia and Zhuang Feng's favorite flower;
Zhuang Feng had already seen that the flower that Zhou Jian was fiddling with was a thug, but he didn't say anything;
As Zhou Jian thought, although Zhuang Feng was shocked by Zhou Jian's resurrection from the dead, and also had the excitement of his brother's death, Zhuang Feng also calmed down after those memories;
In the past ten years, what Zhou Jian has experienced, this Zhuang Feng does not know, but he knows how serious the consequences of the events of that year were to Zhou Jian, and people's hearts will change;
Zhuang Feng doesn't think that he has such a generous mind, and in terms of having already done it, Zhuang Feng doesn't think Zhou Jian has such a mind;
Moreover, this time Zhuang Feng's arrival in Shaozhou was a very secret matter, and no one knew about it, but Zhou Jian seemed to have known it for a long time, and he also blocked Zhuang Feng;
Zhuang Feng is not surprised that Zhou Jian will find him, although the trip to Shaozhou to find Xiaoyu this time is very secretive, but if he has been staring at Zhuang Feng in Jiangzhou, then this can find Zhuang Feng, it is not unusual, it only shows that Zhou Jian's power is strong, and he sent some good hands that even Ao Xiuzhi's intelligence network did not notice, and even a vigilant and delicate person like Yang Lin did not find it;
It's just that the more Zhuang Feng understands this, the more wary he is about Zhou Jian's resurrection, but when he saw Zhou Jian holding a pot of thugs, Zhuang Feng couldn't help but relax his tone;
"I don't like thugs now, I like Caiwei instead;" Although Zhuang Feng had the first hint of emotion in his heart, he still said calmly;
"Caiwei?what flower?" Zhou Jian himself didn't really know much about flowers and trees, but he just knew that Zhuang Feng liked thugs and went to find it, and this is another kind of flower, so he didn't understand it very well;
"A kind of rose that began at the end of May, born on the banks of Pingxi;" Zhuang Feng said calmly as if he were really talking about flowers and trees;
"Pingxi, Tingdong, Seventh Brother, thank you;" Zhou Jian listened to Zhuang Feng's words, as if he remembered something, and said there;
Zhuang Feng said that Caiwei was born in Pingxi, and Pingxi is located next to Tingdong, and the Zhou family compound is in Tingdong, and Zhou Jian also grew up there, and Zhuang Feng also stayed there for a not short time, and that time is also part of the good memory;
Listening to Zhuang Feng talk about a kind of rose that was only born on the bank of Pingxi, Zhou Jian naturally thought of the beauty of the past, and thought that Zhuang Feng had not broken off his friendship;
"You misunderstood;" Zhuang Feng listened to Zhou Jian's words, was stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of Zhou Jian's words, and said something there;
Zhuang Feng listened to Zhou Jian's words, and he understood a little too much, but he also reacted in an instant, thinking that Zhou Jian had misunderstood;
Zhuang Feng said that this flower is indeed just talking about flowers, that's all; of course, when Zhuang Feng sees his former brother who has come back from the dead for ten years, his thinking is indeed a little confused, and he doesn't know where to talk about flowers;
Only with Zhuang Feng's explanation that seemed to be silverless here, Zhou Jian just smiled, and smiled a little cheerfully;
