(3) Salute before soldiers

Thinking of this, the lone wolf, who was already moody, didn't even have any words, but just followed the diligent guidance of this foreman all the way, not only walked slowly to the small conference hall on the third floor. Outside the small banquet hall, about ten meters away, there were eight or nine shirtless young people kneeling on the ground. The doll's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, she saw that one of them was the bald man who was beaten by herself that night. She looked at the others carefully, and it seemed that the three colorful long hairs were also inside, and the rest should be a few small bosses who were fighting against the two of them in the billiard room.

It's just that these eight or nine topless boys have an obvious place, that is, everyone's left hand is wrapped in gauze. The doll looked at the prodigal son, the prodigal son nodded, didn't speak, just thought to himself: "Damn, this Zhao Laosan is really a fucking bastard, this is an intentional act for the big guy to see, it seems, this thing is really not simple." From this point of view, today's game is really a fucking Hongmen banquet! Hmph, I don't care about this set, as long as the talk collapses, I will immediately take the lead. Anyway, as long as we can hold on to this small banquet hall on the third floor, the bastards below will all be handed over to Hou Ye, once the three masters of Hou Ye and the other three masters officially make a move, it won't be over in minutes, hum. Thinking of this, he and the doll next to him secretly communicated and discussed with each other.

When the lone wolf and his party really walked to the door of the small banquet hall, the four black-clothed bodyguards at the door bowed to them in unison. Of course, these etiquettes were originally intended to show people's respect for the lone wolf and the mute seniors, but the prodigal son and the doll also accepted it together unceremoniously.

Not only that, but the doll even said to the prodigal son with a low laugh: "It's okay, these four are much stronger than the boys at Xiguan Qiaotou, hehe......"

The prodigal son said: "That's not it, or those boys are still kneeling there to say goodbye, they are not at the same level in the first place, hehehe......"

The lone wolf listened, looked at the four bodyguards whose faces were slightly red, coughed lightly, turned his face and scolded: "I really don't understand the rules, why don't you hurry up and apologize to these brothers!"

It's just that the hippie smiling face on the doll's side was just about to speak, when the small door in the small banquet hall opened, and with a few hearty laughs, I saw a chubby middle-aged man walking out of it. This middle-aged man in his fifties looks a little similar to the laughing Maitreya at first glance, but the style is slightly smaller by one or two models. From a distance, he squinted at a pair of small eyes the size of beans, and his eyes were a little sleepy. But when these little eyes are slightly opened, you can see his sharp and powerful eyes. That's all, you can judge that this is a standard powerful character who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger.

I saw him walk quickly to the door to meet the lone wolf, and the two of them hugged each other tightly without saying a word. The prodigal son, who followed closely, clearly saw that the little eyes of the so-called Chengxi gang boss Zhao Laosan seemed to be flashing with tears. The two middle-aged men, both in their fifties, hugged tightly for more than a minute, just this small gesture, you can see how deep their friendship was back then, or how deep the friendship was with a knife and licking blood.

Perhaps this is the true temperament of those hot-blooded men in the rivers and lakes back then, relatively speaking, how indifferent and indifferent people are in society now. Nowadays, people in society only have simple interests, and they only use each other and exchange the so-called equal amount with each other, and there is no such thing as the sympathy and the fiery friendship between those old Jianghu people.

After the two of them sat down, the mute, the prodigal son, and the doll were also arranged by a capable young man to sit down next to them. The young man looked at his boss and motioned with his eyes to Dr. Tea in the room to start his official appearance immediately. After a superb kung fu tea was brewed, Dr. Tea politely saluted and withdrew.

After Dr. Tea turned to leave, Zhao Laosan, the boss of the Chengxi Gang, waved lightly at the bodyguards in the room, and those bodyguards also bowed in a proper manner and retreated. At this time, only the master Zhao Laosan and the capable young man standing behind him were left in the room, as well as the four guests of the lone wolf and the mute.

At this moment, it was still Zhao Laosan who broke the deadlock, and first said loudly: "Since everyone is a brother in the rivers and lakes, I Zhao Laosan doesn't want to say more about those long-winded polite words, let's get straight to the point." Today is a brother, I take the liberty to post, the lone wolf brother and all good friends. Not for anything else, just for two things. The first thing is that I really want to be a lone wolf brother. To tell you the truth, I do feel a little tired lately, and I can't help but think of the past and brothers from a few years ago, especially your lone wolf brother. It's just that a few years ago, one of our brothers was in prison and the other was in exile, so there was no time to get together. Even in the past few years, my brother and I have been so busy with some unrelated business that we don't have time to officially visit you, eldest brother. Besides, brother, I'm still stepping on the mud now, and it's inconvenient to provoke my brother. Speaking of this, he was really a little choked, and it could be seen that this was a sincere expression of his feelings from the heart.

After a slight pause, he continued: "This second thing is that not long ago, a group of my blind little brothers inadvertently offended and collided with two good friends around Big Brother Lone Wolf. After I heard about it afterwards, I immediately implemented family law on them, which you should have seen from the outside. I think that if it weren't for the lone wolf brother, my brother and I would have been hacked to death by someone and reincarnated as a human being, I have always remembered the life and death of the lone wolf brother for so many years. Later, I will announce a strict order to my brothers, as long as I see the lone wolf brother and his brothers in the future, they must respectfully salute for three points, otherwise there will be no ambiguity in the family law. ”

When Zhao Laosan said this, he picked up the teacup with both hands and looked at the lone wolf and the other three. The lone wolf saw that people were at least acting in full accordance with the rules of the rivers and lakes, and first gave themselves a lot of face, if it ended here, it would naturally be a happy ending. But as for how it evolves next, it can only be a matter of improvisation. Thinking of this, the lone wolf looked at Zhao Laosan with a smile, and at the same time motioned for the others to pick up the teacup, and everyone drank the cup of tea generously.

The lone wolf put down the teacup and didn't rush to speak, because he knew that today's game would not end so simply. As the main family, and at the same time the party who lost face at that time, it should definitely not end up like this.

Sure enough, after everyone's teacups were put down, Zhao Laosan saw that the lone wolf didn't mean to speak. He should also understand what the lone wolf meant, smiled, and then said: "Brother lone wolf, you are clear, in the Qinglong Gang back then, you were the sworn brother of my brother Zhao Laosan. Brother, I have always respected you very much, of course, this is not exactly because you saved my life back then, but brother, I do have deep respect for your brother's kung fu and character. Today, my brother is a little famous, so I sincerely invite your brother and your friends to join in, and everyone will do something vigorously together. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at the prodigal son and the doll, and praised it with a smile on his face: "Brother knows that the friends around your brother are by no means mediocre, and they are all heroes with unique skills. Needless to say, this heroic little brother is a hard-handed character at first glance. Even this delicate beauty can even sweep away a group of younger brothers under her brother, she is really a heroic woman who doesn't let her eyebrows!" As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up to the two of them one after another, and laughed.

Suddenly, his laughter stopped abruptly and stared at the mute. For about two or three minutes, he fiercely asked the lone wolf eagerly: "Brother lone wolf, is this friend beside you the one who was rumored in the rivers and lakes back then, the cold-faced judge of the foreign master who is known as King Kong's incorruptible body?"

The lone wolf said: "Yes, this is the dumb brother, what King Kong is not bad is just a rumor, but my brother is indeed thicker than ordinary people, and it is actually not a big deal." As for his name as a cold-faced judge, it is just that he is cold and selfless, and he often acts as a so-called temporary arbitrator on the rivers and lakes, which is even more insignificant. And now this mute brother has already been regarded as a golden basin, and has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for many years, and now he is barely making ends meet with his brute strength. In addition, because he walks freely in the rivers and lakes, he is quite familiar with those inaccessible mountains and forests, so now he occasionally makes a cameo appearance in my outdoor organization to help, as a temporary guide and a porter. ”

Zhao Laosan heard the lone wolf's introduction, and quickly stood up and formally greeted the mute with the etiquette of the rivers and lakes. Zhao Laosan returned to the original topic, and then said: "Brother Lone Wolf, to be honest, my brother is looking at the infinite scenery now, but he is actually really tired. There are many brothers around him, and they are all loyal, but they are either limited in ability or do not know the depths of misconduct. My original good plan was out of shape in their hands, and in addition to causing trouble, I was stabbing Lou everywhere all day long. To be honest, I really miss our old brothers now, and this is the real reason why I solemnly meet you today. Please also ask your brother to think twice, even if your brother is unwilling to enter the rivers and lakes again, or deign to this little hall of the younger brother, please also ask your brother to introduce a few of your good brothers to me. As for the treatment, your old brother can rest assured, I will definitely treat them as guests. Never let them get involved in those unpopular businesses, let alone let them dirty their hands casually. ”

After saying that, he personally continued to serve tea to the lone wolf and the mute. Immediately afterwards, the sturdy and capable young man behind him also hurriedly stepped forward, took it and added tea to the prodigal son and the doll, and finally poured it for Zhao Laosan, and then stood behind Zhao Laosan in a regular manner.

Seeing that people were like this, the lone wolf and the mute also respectfully picked up the teacup and saluted Zhao Laosan with the etiquette of the rivers and lakes. Then the lone wolf looked directly at Zhao Laosan and said slowly: "Our brothers don't need to say much, if this was put back then, it would naturally be incumbent on me to be a brother, but today I also ask Boss Zhao to bear with me." In addition, when he is an elder brother, he has a few words of confidant, and he does not vomit or be unhappy. If Boss Zhao is willing to adopt it, then everyone will naturally be happy, if he is not willing to listen, then I haven't said it. Here, I first made a statement to Boss Zhao in advance, lest Boss Zhao get angry, hehehe......"

When Zhao Laosan heard this, he still smiled and said, "Old brother, our own brothers, anything can be discussed." In addition, your brother is too polite, just say anything good. Little brother, I must listen to you, as long as it is said by your elder brother, the little brother must also be encouraged if there is no change, and he will never dare to complain. ”

Lone wolf said: "I think about how majestic our Qinglong Gang was back then, when the power was at its peak, not only our YZ City, but even several surrounding counties and cities could call for wind and rain." But in the end, it was not still evil that prevailed over good, and it was wiped out by the government with a light wave of his hand, and how many good brothers were folded into it at that time, and how many good brothers were separated from their wives. In addition, you have basically cleared your hands now, why can't you completely give up those underground businesses and take your brothers to engage in some legitimate livelihoods?"

After a slight pause, the lone wolf saw that Zhao Laosan was still smiling, without obvious anger, and then continued: "Not long ago, by chance, I met an old brother who was also in the same period as us, the eldest of the four monsters in the south of the city, Qitian. We had a simple meal at his Chengnan Hotel, and his three brothers were also eating together: the second - a cut plum, the third - Jiu Dizzy, and the fourth - Yin and Yang. In the middle of the meal, we chatted about their current situation, and the four of them have now been completely whitewashed. They not only started a legitimate hotel and logistics, transportation business, but also often did some charity and public welfare activities, and even the second child and the first Jianmei also worked hard to become a provincial or municipal people's congress deputy. Personally, I think they're really back on the right track, so I really hope that your brother will give up those gray underground businesses completely. What I said is my brother's heartfelt words, you may feel uncomfortable listening to it, but as a brother who once lived and died together, I don't vomit or be unhappy. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Laosan laughed twice, owed slightly, and said lukewarmly: "Brother, of course I can understand your good intentions, brother, in fact, this is the real concern for my brother." As for the four monsters in the south of the city, I don't want to say anything, old brother, you will really understand in the future, hehehe......"

The lone wolf could tell what he was saying, but he also knew that this was not a question that should be studied today, so he didn't ask much.

After a slight pause, Zhao Laosan continued to say: "Actually, I have thought about my brother's words many times, and I also want to completely whitewash myself, be a law-abiding citizen, and make some contributions to society." But my brothers and I also have my own difficulties, not to mention anything else, just these hundreds of brothers who depend on me for food, and I can't take good care of them and their families. In addition, the gray underground business that your brother talked about, those are not my brother's main business. I just occasionally show up for them to take care of trivial matters that I really can't get away with. Of course, I'm the boss of the Chengxi Gang, and it's all called nonsense by people outside, but I've never thought about it that way. ”

Seeing that the lone wolf didn't mean to answer, he continued: "Brother, I don't restrain the brothers below enough, sometimes they are a little messy, and they do cause a lot of negative influences on me outside, and I have heard a little about this. The main reason is that I am too busy with my work and I don't have time to tidy up. Let's just say that the Xiguan Qiaotou incident happened not long ago, and I later heard that it was your brother's friends who taught me a good lesson for me, and these bastards who are doing things under my banner all day long made me have the idea of inviting your brother to come over and help me. As long as your brother can deign to my company, it will be just right for me to clean up. In that way, with the guidance and help of the elder brother, our company can slowly move on the right track. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Laosan stared straight at the lone wolf with his eyes, and seemed to whimsically persuade them to join his gang. At this time, the lone wolf clearly knew that it was impossible to persuade Zhao Laosan to turn back, and it would be meaningless to talk about it any longer. But now he doesn't know whether Zhao Laosan will no longer pursue the matter of Xiguan Qiaotou as he said.

Thinking of this, the lone wolf said: "Boss Zhao, you are too uplifting old brother, now I am just an idle outdoor person, and what I think about all day long is the little in my outdoor club." So, it's not that I don't give you face, it's just that I don't have those ambitions and so-called courage for a long time, hehehe......"

After a slight pause, Lone Wolf continued: "Therefore, Boss Zhao, as for joining your company, I think it's over, no matter what, everyone will still be good brothers in the future." In addition, I am also very grateful to Boss Zhao for his generosity, and he did not bother my friends much after the Xiguan Qiaotou incident. Now let my little brother toast you Boss Zhao with a cup of tea first, and make up for your Boss Zhao's time another day, and I will set up a table of wine to toast you a few glasses, hehehe......"

While speaking, the lone wolf gestured with his eyes, and asked the prodigal son to step forward and give Zhao Laosan a cup of tea politely. Seeing him like this, the prodigal son immediately stood up, only to see him pick up the teapot with his clean and neat hands, walk up to Zhao Laosan, and respectfully pour a cup of tea.
