Two days later, the apocalypse paid the money, and the neighbors and villagers started to help kill pigs and sheep, and held a banquet in the old house of the Nian family to invite the whole town.

The first is to thank the big guys for their great help, and the second is to celebrate the new residence of the old house of Nian Tianqi.

The banquet was held for fifty tables, the whole town was full of all ages, the old and the young were all at the table, the old men drank five and eight forks, this banquet was eaten straight from sunset to the middle of the moon, the cup was changed, the large pieces were eaten, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After the guests dispersed, Nian Tianqi deliberately left Chen San, Wu Wenji, Fang Xu, and Kong Yang, and troubled the aunt of the Wu family to fry a few small dishes, stew a pot of mutton soup, and the five of them sat down around the square table in the main hall.

"Come, four brothers, you've worked hard for most of the month, don't say much, it's all in the wine, do it first as a respect. ”

Nian Tianqi took a sip of the wine.

"Brother Apocalypse is bold, I Chen San admires it, and I did it too. ”

"Come on, come together, let's do it too, thank you Brother Apocalypse. ”

A few people had already drunk almost, and after another glass, the conversation box couldn't be closed.

"Brother Apocalypse, I still remember when I was a child, you and Tianci ran behind my ass, a few of us went up the tree to dig out bird eggs, went into the water to turn over Wang Ba, I remember that there was a time when you were bitten by Wang Ba's fingers and didn't let go, you screamed in pain, but you didn't cry, I thought at that time, this kid will be the dragon and phoenix among people in the future, sure enough, now he has made a fortune and returned to his hometown. Hahaha, come, brother toast you, it's done!"

Apocalypse smiled silently, raised his glass and drank the wine in his glass.

......

A few people came and went back and forth with three glasses of wine, and the apocalypse threw out the bricks: "I heard that a few brothers are doing well in the Black Tiger Gang?"

"Hey, Brother Apocalypse, where did you hear it, the Black Tiger Gang? The gang leader knows that there are a few of us who are still talking about it, what are the mixes, and besides, there is no oil and water in a place like Xizuo Town, for the Black Tiger Gang, it is better to talk than nothing, how can you care about a few of us. It was the eldest Kong Yang who spoke.

"It's true that a few of us are not part of the Black Tiger Gang, but Brother Kong has at least been in the Black Tiger Gang. "Fang Xu's age is almost the same as Wen Ji and Tianqi.

"Hey, what are you doing, it's not easy to mix gangs, I don't know when someone chops it up and feeds it to the dog, the most important thing is that it's dead and dead in vain, alas..."

"Brother Kong originally followed Lu Ye, at the beginning of the year, the Black Tiger Gang and the Four Seas Gang fought hard, and more than a dozen people died, Brother Kong blocked a knife for Lu Ye, and afterwards he was rewarded for meritorious deeds, and each person who died only got a penny, Brother Kong only got a hundred Wen, and there was no cost for soup and medicine, and in the end, Lu Ye only handed over this Xizuo Town to Brother Kong. ”

Kong Yang of Wen Jizheng agreed and explained: "At the beginning, Brother Kong was recuperating at home, so he asked the third brother to help, and after Brother Kong recovered from his injury, he didn't want to wade into this muddy water again, so the third brother has been helping to deal with it." In fact, everyone knows that the third brother is also for everyone, if you don't pay this money, the Black Tiger Gang will come to the town every day to make trouble, and everyone will not have a good time. ”

"Alas, when it comes to this Black Tiger Gang, it's really a few blacks, the one surnamed Lu will double the money this month, I don't know how to tell everyone, and I will send money in another seven or eight days, it's really too deceitful. Chen San scolded.

I had already heard this on the day of the apocalypse, but judging by the reactions of the other three, a few of them already knew.

"This matter is indeed a difficult thing in the past, but this year, when the apocalypse comes back, everyone thanks to him, there is still a few spare money left in the bag, and he can cope with it if he gets together, but this is too aggrieved. Fang Xu complained.

The big guy was silent for a while, and silently took a sip of wine, but Tianqi found that several people secretly gave Wen Ji a look.

Wen Ji twisted for a while, but still said, "Apocalypse, do you have a way to help everyone?"

Nian Tianqi took a sip of the cup, and then said slowly: "It's not that there is no way, it's just that everyone wants me to help, whether it is as long as the difficulties in front of you are solved, or you want to solve it once and for all." ”

The four of them looked at each other, and finally Kong Yang spoke: "Brother Apocalypse, I know that you are a person with great skills, and you have also seen the world, you tell us what to do, everyone listens to you." ”

Nian Tianqi knew that a few people knew that they didn't fully believe him, which is also understandable, a little brother who hasn't seen him for more than ten years, even if he has learned a skill, he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, and everyone has no bottom.

Nian Tianqi silently put a pair of chopsticks in his hand on the table, the index finger and middle finger of his right hand each against a chopstick, secretly lucked Zhenyuan, the two chopsticks slowly sank into the table, until they were not in most of the time before stopping.

The four of them were stunned, and Chen San on the right hand side looked incredulous, reaching out to pull out the chopsticks, but they didn't move. Fang Xu was clever, and he went down to the bottom of the table to take a look.

"Thoroughly. ”

Wen Ji was extremely happy: "Apocalypse, you are too powerful." ”

Only Kong Yang watched all this silently.

Nian Tianqi took out his chopsticks, put a peanut in his mouth and chewed it, and asked, "What kind of characters are there in this Black Tiger Gang, and what do you do for a living?"

"Geng Hu, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, nicknamed Black Tiger, is mean and vicious, and it is said that he is extremely good at fighting a tiger fist in one hand. ”

"There are three leading brothers under him, Lu Feng, Luo An, and Jiang Zhengyuan. I used to talk to Lu Feng, this person was like a crazy demon in a fight, and he was extremely fierce, but his nature was actually not bad.

The main business of the Black Tiger Gang is the Laichun Courtyard and some secret prostitutes in the south of the county, and the three streets and alleys in the south are also the territory of the Black Tiger Gang, well, some nearby villages and towns in the south are also counted. Kong Yang said.

"What about the Four Seas Gang and the Nine Gang of the Nine Seas?" asked Apocalypse again.

"Chu Jiang, the leader of the Four Seas Gang, is about the same strength as Geng Hu, and mainly controls several gambling houses and four streets and alleys in the west of the county. Well, there are neighboring villages and towns.

Bai Xiaoqiu, the leader of the Jiuhe Gang, controls the most lively East Market in the county, and the merchants and traders within a radius of 100 miles sell all kinds of goods, including the living and the dead, all of them have to go to the East Market, and as long as they pass through the East City, the Jiuhe Gang will take a cut.

By the way, the three gangs will put money (usury) in their respective spheres of influence, which can also be counted as a part of the income. ”

Nian Tianqi took a sip of wine, pondered for a while, and said leisurely: "How about destroying the Black Tiger Gang?"

Kong Yang's eyes widened, big brother, are you kidding?

After half a ring, Wu Wenji said: "Apocalypse, this Black Tiger Gang is nearly a hundred people!"

"If you do Geng Hu directly, how sure are you that you will accept the Black Tiger Gang?" Nian Tianqi asked Kong Yang.

Kong Yang held the wine glass, lowered his head and calculated silently, and raised his head in the middle of the glass to dry the wine.

"If the Apocalypse Brothers can kill Geng Hu in one fell swoop, most of the brothers in the gang will no longer fight hard, but they just want to subdue the other gangs, but it is not easy, after all, the Apocalypse Brothers have just arrived. ”

Nian Tianqi knew that Kong Yang had no confidence in himself, so he didn't explain anything anymore, picked up the chopsticks and threw them out.

Listening to the sound of "Du", the oil lamp in the main hall was not too bright, and a few people could not see where the chopsticks were shooting, only the direction of the doorpost on the left side of the gate.

Wen Ji and Fang Xu hurriedly ran over to look, and the two of them saw the chopsticks clearly and gasped.

It was nearly two zhang away from the seat of the Apocalypse to this doorpost, and these two chopsticks were completely submerged into the pillar, leaving only a section of knuckle length outside, and the distance between the two chopsticks was less than an inch.

Fools can also see that this is not something that can be done by brute force alone, the technique of firing hidden weapons, and the control of strength must be extremely exquisite.

When Fang Xu and Wen Ji returned to their seats, Tianyun tapped the table with his right index finger and said lightly: "I plan to set up a 'brotherhood', are you interested?" ”

"Brotherhood! We'll start our own gang! Great, Apocalypse, I'll follow you. Wu Wenji was the first to respond.

Kong Yang and the three of them looked at each other, they had been conquered by the martial arts of the Apocalypse before, and now even their ideas were conquered, and the three of them had an inexplicable flame in their eyes, and they all stood up.

Chen San and Fang Xu said one after another: "I did it!"

"I'm joining!"

Kong Yang was also frightened by the unfathomable martial arts cultivation of the Apocalypse, with this hand alone, no one knew who did it, and Kong Yang was now convinced of the Apocalypse at least in terms of force.

After silently weighing it in his mind for a moment, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and bowed his head and said, "I've seen the helper!"

The other three followed suit and said in unison, "I've seen the helper." ”

On December 22, the 62nd year of Xinxuan, the brotherhood was established in the old house of the Nian family.
