October 19, for most people, is nothing more than an ordinary day.

But for Hong Qi, it is unforgettable for a lifetime and unforgettable for a lifetime.

Not only because on this day, life and death were on the line, but also because he lost one of his most powerful assistants, very affectionate friends.

And this day is also a crucial day for the firewood gang.

Without this day, there may not be a story that storytellers never get tired of telling even many years later.

"Seventh brother, why is it so late?"

When Hong Qi and Ah Gui, Luo Pan and Tao Min'er, Duan Shaoping and Kong Ying, the three pairs of men and women, as well as Ye Shaluo's personal guards, rushed from Qibao Zhai to a rudder of the firewood gang, Chang Gengjie shouted dissatisfiedly as soon as he saw them.

Luo Pan opened his mouth and said: "It's not that Ah Qi was left by the county order, we are listening on the sidelines, the old man of the county order seems to be consulting Ah Qi, why do you want to make Yueying Spring on West Street into a scenic spot, how to do it." Hmph, trouble!"

"Hehe, who called Brother Qi the head of West Street, he has the final say in this kind of matter, if the county order doesn't ask him, who can he ask?"

"If it weren't for Brother Qi's quick promise to everything, I don't know how long that county order would have been long-winded. ”

Duan Shaoping took over the handbags of several girls, and then placed them neatly in a cabinet.

"Seventh Gang Master, you're really busy. ”

"I thought I'd see you right away when I got here, but who knows, I'll have to wait so long. ”

Yan Ying, dressed in a white satin dress with tassels hanging down to the ground, stood up from the bench with Sansan, Xiao Ye, and Du Yun, and looked at Hong Qi with a smile, while the other three walked over with a wry smile and greeted them very friendly.

"Go ahead, you haven't been to see her for a few days, and you're still relatively well-behaved. ”

Ah Ghost whispered in his ear, "But don't be too affectionate, otherwise ......"

Hong Qi's heart froze, remembering Yan Ying's letter yesterday, but today was a festive day, so he didn't think much about it and strode towards Yan Ying.

"Yo, the eldest lady has approved, and you will start to seduce the girl?" Yan Ying sneered when she saw him approaching.

Hong Qi coughed dryly, pretended to be looking for someone, diverted the topic, and asked, "What about Luo Hua......?" Didn't come?"

"Isn't it there! As soon as she came, she looked for Li Xiyun, although the estrangement between them may never disappear, but now, it seems that the two are still quite friendly. ”

Yan Ying pointed to the room that had just been renovated into a main hall, near the window.

Li Xiyun and Luo Huazheng had a good conversation, although neither of them had a smile on their faces.

Hong Qi took the opportunity to scan the surroundings again, and the eyes were all the disciples of the firewood gang, and the two bigwigs of the beggar gang, and he didn't see any outsiders, so he said, "It turns out that the old man hasn't arrived yet." ”

"Well, it didn't come. ”

Yan Ying raised her voice, because of Hong Qi's arrival, the main hall, which was originally very lively, was a lot quieter, but now that it has been a long time, others have begun to show their true colors again, speak loudly, and make a loud noise.

Hong Qi took a glass of sake handed by Ye Sha Luo, and said to Yan Ying: "You're not hungry, are you?" I want to wait for the old man to come before starting. ”

Yan Ying nodded, didn't answer, just kept shaking the wine in her hand, her eyes staring at the stacks of ripples, and gradually became stunned.

"Well, what's wrong with you?"

Where did Hong Qi know that Yan Ying was thinking about another man at this time.

"I didn't ...... Nothing ......."

Yan Ying rubbed her temples and said, "Maybe I'm a little tired these days." ”

Hong Qi saw Yan Ying's uncertain appearance, a trace of guilt appeared in her heart, and she walked closer and patted her shoulder gently.

Because of his relationship with Yan Ying, not everyone present knew about it, and it was inconvenient for him to be too intimate.

After this action, Yan Ying stared at him for a long time with very complicated eyes before saying with a smile: "You guys are very thoughtful, make the rudder like this." Now, it's a bit of a banquet. ”

"It used to be a sake brewery, so it was easy to change it like this. ”

Hong Qi looked around happily, "But it's hard for them." Tonight, we will be on duty in batches and keep watch outside. ”

"Their bodies are bitter, but their hearts are sweet. ”

"Think about it, under the watchful eye of the first-class gangs in the four major Qianshang, Kun Shang, your own gang still has the leisure to celebrate the birthday of your companions, doesn't this represent a kind of victory?"

"I believe that the morale of the people is very high. ”

Yan Ying smiled, then her expression faded, and she said, "By the way, I told you that day, we didn't have a Yan gang to follow...... The matter of cooperation between the Taichong Sect ......"

"That's good. ”

"The Taichong Sect originally had some relationship with your Wuyan Gang, and besides, their relationship with Cui Jiabao had already been severed, no problem. ”

"In this situation, they inject money into the shameless gang, either if there is a conspiracy, or they are very sincere. ”

"Oh......"

Yan Ying responded absentmindedly, shook her head slightly, and said, "Actually, if we have a good relationship with the Taichong Sect, not only will we benefit from the Wuyan Gang, but it will also be very beneficial to the Firewood Gang and even the Jiangzi family." ”

Hong Qi admired Yan Ying's vision, what she said was undoubtedly what he said to Jiang Banxian yesterday.

He looked at her approvingly, nodded, and said:

"That's right, in fact, I have a plan with the old man of the Half Immortal for a long time, and I want to bury a knife to deal with Xingtianmen and Cui Jiabao in Qianzi City, and give them a blow at the right time. ”

"Taichong is good, although people don't seem to have many powerful people, but fortunately, they are rich, hehe. ”

"But because they used to have a good relationship with Cui Jiabao, it's better to be stable. ”

"You don't have to be in a hurry, take your time. ”

He didn't know that these very reasonable words were also helping Yan Ying explain his relationship with Zhu Zixing to him.

At this time, Yan Ying, when facing Hong Qi in her heart, untied a lot of knots and relaxed.

And at this time, Jiang Banxian arrived.

"Haha, old man, are you later than me?"

Hong Qi and Yan Ying greeted him, and the others also symbolically surrounded him.

Jiang Banxian's face was not very good, and he smiled reluctantly: "It's a little delayed." ”

Then he said to Chang Gengjie who came over, "Gengjie, the old man is here to congratulate you on your birthday, in the second half of the year, you can live a very meaningful life, every year has today, every year has today!"

Chang Gengjie said happily: "Thank you, old man! To be honest, since I stepped into the rivers and lakes, I have dreamed of these days." Joining the firewood gang is the proudest choice of my life!"

The disciples of the Firewood Gang present all followed the words of Jiang Banxian and Chang Gengjie, and held high the big bowl and cup in their hands together, congratulating the birthday star and wishing the future of the Firewood Gang in unison.

"I hope that on the fifth day of May next year, all my friends will be able to attend my old man's birthday banquet in a bright and bright manner!"

Jiang Banxian is amazing, and as soon as he came, he pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.
