Chapter 669: Quitting the Rivers and Lakes
The next day, in view of Hong Qi's attitude yesterday, Duan Shaoping and Luo Pan saw him again, and his situation still did not improve, so they had to ask for help from Ah Ghost with their eyes, and after she smiled bitterly and said that they could not do anything, they had to ask Jiang Banxian for help.
"Seventh brother, the old man of the Jiang family has come to see you. ”
The four of them pushed left and right, although Suba had the prestige and strength of the "evil star", but in this kind of competition, he was not an opponent at all with Duan Shaoping, Luo Pan, and Chang Gengjie, and was pushed into the study by them, and he had to say to Hong Qi tremblingly.
No one wants to be a catharsis after Hong Qi's pain, it is really a dumb person who eats Coptis chinensis, and he can't say anything about his suffering.
Unexpectedly, Hong Qi smiled and said that he knew and could invite the old man into the house to talk.
"It's been a while, what have you been busy with lately?"
"Practice calligraphy, think about it, I can't recognize all the words, and I can't write well, I'm too ashamed. ”
"Hehe, good handwriting doesn't mean anything, how you learn, mainly depends on whether you have learned real things, some things, the most important thing is to see the understanding. ”
"If you can't even write a few big characters, you won't be able to comprehend. ”
Hong Qi knew what Jiang Banxian was going to say, and he wanted to excuse himself to leave, but how could he be so rude to him?
Even if that aside, he couldn't ignore him.
Because even though he won't mix in the rivers and lakes, those disciples of the Wood-Gathering Gang still need people like him to take care of them.
"So do you understand it now?"
Hong Qi understood what Jiang Banxian meant, but he wouldn't talk to him for the feelings in his heart, so Hong Qi followed his meaning and said, "Understood!"
"Understood?" Jiang Banxian asked.
"Yes!" Hong Qi replied in the affirmative.
"Okay! Now that you have understood, when will you talk about the plan to attack Hongtu Street again? You don't know, yesterday I mobilized Duan Shaoping and them, cooperated with the strength of the Jiangzi family, and with the support of the Sword Sect, launched a second fierce attack on Hetu Street, but failed again. ”
"I don't know. ”
Hong Qi was in the study except for eating and sleeping, and he didn't read the information at all.
And as soon as he heard someone in the courtyard talk about this onslaught, he immediately flashed.
Now, as soon as he heard these things, his heart would be inexplicably upset.
The word "death" has become a burden for him.
"In yesterday's battle, I was defeated because I was blind, and I was not in a position to command the battle on the spot. ”
"On the battlefield, a moment of delay is fatal, not to mention the moment when I send a message asking for instructions to the time I make a decision to send it back. If it weren't for Wei Fox to judge the situation, unexpectedly give up the other sections, and bet heavily on the first section faster than me, so that Azun's commando team would be hit hard, we could have dragged it to the Xuanmen to interfere and gain control of the first section. Alas...... Think about the last time I sneaked into Qianzi City in order to save Ah Zun, I had to do it as a last resort. ”
Although Hong Qi listened to Jiang Banxian's words, he felt a little disgusted that he had come into contact with the things on the rivers and lakes again, but he still had to admit that Jiang Banxian was right.
Last time, if Jiang Banxian hadn't rushed to Qianzi City with him, he felt that things were not good, and immediately made arrangements, and when he was under siege, he brought in a grain truck to open the way for him, not only Jiang Zun and the others would not be rescued, but he and others would also lose it together, and that battle would not have become a topic of conversation in the mouths of all the people in the rivers and lakes.
If Jiang Banxian had stayed in the Jiang family at that time, would he have done those things in advance? Of course it couldn't be.
"Old man, the comprehension I am talking about is not the comprehension you mean. ”
No matter how right Jiang Banxian said, Hong Qi was very determined to quit.
It is not announced now, just because it does not want to affect the morale of the coalition forces.
"What is your realization?"
Not only Jiang Banxian, but also Suba next to Hong Qi, and everyone outside the study pricked up their ears.
"My comprehension is very simple, that is, if you go on the road of rivers and lakes, you have to ignore death, but I find that I can't do it now, I can ignore the life and death of other people, but I don't want to see anyone around me die in front of me, let alone someone die for me again, so I have to leave. I'm already unqualified!"
Hong Qi said resolutely.
Jiang Banxian was silent, and everyone was silent.
After listening to Hong Qi's words, they not only understood his decision, but also instantly felt his sadness.
That's really an unbearable weight for life.
"Hehe, the sun does not rise for one person, the rivers and lakes do not start for one person, I left, it doesn't affect anything. ”
Hong Qi is no longer the confident Hong Qi who was taught by Jiang Banxian before.
The current Hong Qi looks down on himself extremely, despises himself, doesn't believe in himself, and hates himself!
"I've always thought that your words are both right and wrong. I have calculated my life for a lifetime, and after meeting you, I firmly believe that although a person is nothing, you are indeed the most important person in this era......"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Banxian, who has always sought truth from facts, would say this, Hong Qi was stunned......
And Jiang Banxian continued: "The phoenix has to go through the fire, the young eagle has to go through abandonment, and in the same way, the most successful person has to go through tribulation. Your heart now, I understand, and I don't want to say anything more, the last sentence ......"
"The person who can still get out when he meets the demon in his heart is the real hero!"
Looking at Jiang Banxian's back as he turned to leave, Hong Qi was stunned for a moment.
The people in the room who were originally listening intently did not react, and while they were savoring Jiang Banxian's words, they were also watching Hong Qi's reaction.
Hong Qi didn't stay stunned for long, after a while, he sat down, smiled at everyone, and said, "Okay, I'm going to continue practicing calligraphy!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone's reaction was different.
The scroll in Suba's hand almost fell to the ground, and Ah Ghost, who had stood up, fell on the couch behind him, Duan Shaoping was disappointed and grabbed Luo Pan, who wanted to rush to Hong Qi to question, and Chang Gengjie slapped his forehead heavily.
Although their performances are different, they can all be summed up in four words: "or failure".
"That's not the way ......"
Seeing that Hong Qi was still staying in the study, practicing his words seriously, Suba said anxiously.
"Yes, everyone knows how much damage Yan Ying's death has caused to Seventh Brother, and now there are rumors that Seventh Brother may withdraw from the rivers and lakes, regardless of the firewood gang. ”
"Now the dragons are leaderless, which makes people panic. ”
"Therefore, Jiang Banxian and the Master of Confucius launched the 'Double Dragon Goes to Sea' operation today, and I can only indicate that I will not participate. ”
"Alas, with the current state of the disciples, they are not sent to death in vain when they go to the battlefield!"
Hong Qi and Ah Ghost are not there, and Chang Gengjie, the rational "Trick King", naturally became the link between the Firewood Gang and the Jiangzi family and the Jianmen.
"It's the third day, and it's still not getting better, and the more Brother Qi laughs now, the more pain I feel. ”
Duan Shaoping frowned and said, in the past three days, he has persuaded Hong Qi no less than twenty times, in the study, on West Street, on the road.
"Seventh sister-in-law, you ......" Chang Gengjie looked at Ah Ghost and said.
Ah Ghost didn't wait for him to finish, then shook his head and said, "Don't count on me, I can't do anything." No matter what I say, he always laughs. And there are some things that I can't say that I can say, to be honest, I have completely changed my opinion of Yan Ying. ”
"So what should I do, will it be consumed like this?"
"It's not as good as before, according to the news from the spies of Qianzi City, the Xingtianmen Alliance has greatly boosted its morale after learning about the current situation of the seventh brother, and is mobilizing manpower to prepare for a counterattack. ”
Suba shouted.
"Ge Laozi, it's all nonsense, spread it out!"
Luo Pan, who had not spoken, couldn't listen anymore, and walked to the study, while Duan Shaoping stretched out his hand and put it down again, everyone knew that they couldn't drag it out.
Hong Qi, who was practicing calligraphy in the study, of course heard what they were saying word for word.
He knew that Luo Pan had made a move, so he stood up and closed the door to the study.
He didn't want to dwell on this issue, especially in the face of his former comrades-in-arms.
"Bang!"
Hong Qi was startled, but he didn't expect Luo Pan to kick the door open directly with his foot.
"You're leaving?" Luo Pan didn't wait for him to say anything, but tilted his head to say to him.
Hong Qi nodded impatiently.
"Just leave?"
"I'll tell you later!"
"Late? What to explain? Is it a simple sentence: I'm sorry, everyone, I'm leaving, take care of yourselves in the future!"
That's what it means. Hong Qi does not deny it.
"You don't think about your companions......"
Luo Pan paused for a moment and said, "Oh, it's not a companion, it's a friend, you just left your former companion like this?"
Hong Qi was just about to speak, but Luo Pan interrupted him and said, "Don't forget, who gave them hope and made them willing to live incognito under the banner of the firewood gang and die in death." It's good now, when success is just around the corner, but you have to throw your hands away, are you worthy of them? ”
"And you ......"
"Wrong, do you think we will stay when you leave? Hehe, let's provoke Xingtianmen, Cui Jiabao, Yingmeng, Yinjianmen, and Jinwu Gang, and they all laugh freely, that's because we have confidence in you and our disciples of the Wuyan Gang. ”
"But as soon as you leave, the word 'unity' will no longer exist, and they will face the revenge of Xingtianmen and Cuijiabao alone, as well as the Jinwu Gang, how can you bear it?"
This sentence undoubtedly hit the nail on the head.
Hong Qi was speechless to refute for the time being, but it didn't mean that he agreed
He still stubbornly thought in his heart that this reason was too far-fetched, and with the relationship between the firewood gang and the Jiangzi family, it would be good for everyone to merge into the Jiangzi family.
It's just that this meaning is too far from the meaning of the firewood gang under its own banner.
"You neglect the lives and deaths of your companions for the sake of your own suffering?"
Seeing that Hong Qi didn't react, Luo Pan'an gave him a bigger crime, and this was what he had the most scruples.
"Nope!"
Hong Qi shouted and pleaded, "I'm not a martial arts wizard, everyone has no future with me! What hope, it's all nonsense! We seem to have the upper hand, but you take a look and think about it, when did they make a move from Xingtianmen, and didn't a dearest person fall by my side? I can't stand it, I'm going to collapse! I want to stay away from this road, for myself, for them." ”
"Come on, don't speak of yourself as noble, you just want to run away from pain. ”
"You just want to hide under the covers, you can't see or hear, as long as they don't die in front of you, you will happily burn incense and worship the Buddha!"
Luo Pan said in the most sarcastic tone.
"Yes, I am, what's the matter? I just run away from pain, I'm just a seed, I just don't want to see the people around me die in front of me, so what? Anyway, I'm going to quit the rivers and lakes!"
Hong Qi almost jumped up and said.
Since you want to say it so nakedly, then it's better to be naked.
"Ge Laozi, I only know now that Jiang Banxian is a god, we are stupid, Li Xiyun is an idiot, and Ayi and those disciples of the Firewood Gang who are working hard for you are all bastards, because we all misread you......"
Luo Pan accentuated his tone, "Yan Yinggen is a blind person, she is obviously going to kill you, and she has to save you, Ge Laozi's ......"
"Ahh
Hong Qi screamed and pushed Luo Pan away and rushed out of the house.
Luo Pan's words were like a bulldozer, pushing away his surface defenses little by little.
He couldn't hold back the tears of pain in front of everyone, no matter what, he didn't want to shed tears in front of them, he didn't want them to know that his wounds were deeper than they thought.
From the moment Yan Ying died, everyone knew that he was pretending, but now that he can't sing anymore, he can't even do the least self-comfort, so he can only go, go alone!
God seemed to deliberately want to cooperate with me and his mood, and suddenly it was pouring rain, and when Ah Ghost and Luo Pan came back to their senses and rushed out of the door, he had disappeared into the vast heavy rain.
"Ah Pan, are you talking too much?" Duan Shaoping looked at the dense and urgent rain, and his brows furrowed even more.
"You don't need to beat the drum hard, but Ah Qi's drum has been eroded by grief, so it's not heavy!"
Luo Pan regretted a little in his heart that he was in a hurry, and his tone was too heavy, but he still didn't admit it, this was his usual style.
"Maybe, it's better to let him rush out like this to vent...... Ah Ghost said the reason why everyone didn't hold Hong Qi.
Suba nodded and said, "Well, there are little prison dragons who follow them to protect ......"
"Ge Laozi, little prison dragon, what are you doing!"
Before Suba's words were finished, Chang Gengjie, who had the best eyes, looked at the group of people on the opposite street corner through the rain curtain and shouted.
"Elder......"
A lean and thin young man ran here with a few people in the heavy rain, wiping the rain on his body while saying to Chang Gengjie, "I didn't do anything, it suddenly rained so hard, and we were hiding from the rain there." ”
"What about the gang leader?" Luo Pan was anxious.
"Helper?"
This young man who took over Ye Shaluo's position and had just become the leader of Hong Qi's personal guard looked puzzled, "Aren't you in the house with all the big brothers?"
"Ge Laozi, how do you act as a personal guard? I don't even know if the gang leader ran out!"
Suba pushed the little prison dragon into the heavy rain.
The little prison dragon couldn't care about the fact that he had become a soup chicken in an instant, his eyes widened, and he said, "Oh no, it must be that the helper came out when we just turned around and ran to hide from the rain." I'll find it right away!"
He was shrewd, and he didn't need these big guys to give orders at all, so he scattered in the rain with other guards and began to look for Hong Qi.
At a time when this kind of war is in full swing, who dares to guarantee that there are no killers in the Xingtianmen ambush nearby, waiting to take his life?
