Chapter 35: Lessons
Yi Chen sat at the long table in the restaurant, carefully removed the bone spurs on a piece of seven-cheek eel meat, slowly put it into his mouth, nodded and said, "Yes, the chef of this restaurant is very authentic, Jester, and I will go to him for dinner in the future." ”
Jester, who was sitting on the right side of the table, quickly put a few small chops of green onion into his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's none of my business, these things have to be explained to Phil, but they are in Manchester, God knows when they will be back." ”
Yi Chen shrugged his shoulders, raised his wine glass and touched it lightly with Fei Li, and took a sip of the red wine that accompanied the meal.
The door of the dining room was pushed open, Kane walked in quickly, Phil's men quickly added a cutlery, Kane looked at the table, walked to Jester and sat down, casually pulled the cutlery in front of him, with a knife and fork, a big sauerkraut stewed sausage went into the plate, and then took a big bite.
Yi Chen laughed: "Kane, it's really a pleasure to watch you eat. Only energetic people can have such a bold way of eating, and I like people who are full of energy...... Any news?"
Kane gulped down the sausages on his plate, and pointed his fork at the plate of roast lamb ribs a little farther away, and Fili smiled and instructed Sally to add a large piece of roast ribs to Kane's plate.
Kane didn't answer, but quickly eliminated the ribs, chewed the tender bones on both sides rattling, swallowed quickly, and then poured a liter of pure draft beer in one go, then wiped his lips and said, "Boss, it's Rome, yes, Rome, that guy wants to come to Rome for a vacation...... Their headquarters needed to be relocated and those responsible held accountable, and the guy applied for leave to avoid the limelight of internal rectification. ”
Yi Chen fiddled with the steak mixed with the black curry on the plate, and said in a slurp: "Look, look, our dear Mr. David, obviously not a qualified guard of the British Empire, after their nest was served, he actually went to Rome for recreation......, how can this be? Hmm, when is he going?"
Kane shook his head and said, "I don't know, I can only ask for so much information from that unlucky guy's mouth, and the specific itinerary is probably only known to David, the bastard...... I think he went on vacation openly, and secretly didn't know what he was going for. Maybe he's going to go to Rome and get more capital for himself?"
Kane quickly filled his plate with food again, bowed his head and swallowed heavily.
Jace nodded, leaned back and said, "Maybe, that guy can't deal with us, at least he can't deal with us now, so if he wants to take the lead in personnel changes, he needs some practical results to show to his superiors." ”
Yi Chen sighed and asked Kane, who had almost buried his head in the food pile, "What happened to the unlucky ghost you questioned?"
Kane looked up and said, "A car accident, the poor agent just crashed into a tanker truck, and it is estimated that DNA tests have no way to determine his identity, and he is all burned." ”
Yi Chen smiled: "So, okay, inform our Fabio brothers, he should help us a little...... Let him pay attention to the recent movements in Rome, and if Mr. David appears in Rome, I will be the first to know, understand?"
Kane nodded.
Yi Chen pondered for a while: "Of course, we need to send some gifts to Fabio's children. We should probably check with that old guy at Velen to see if it is a viable last name to register a security company in the UK, we need a lot of trained gunslingers...... Especially as the Yamaguchi group prepares to open the gates in London...... God, you're such a damn thing, why are things all coming together? Can't you give me a little respite? It's really tiring to live like this......"
At the opening of the door, a black man wearing a neat black tuxedo and a neat bow tie walked in gently, holding a large gold post in his hand, and said a little puzzled: "Boss, the owner of a restaurant in Chinatown invites you to go to their restaurant at noon tomorrow......" His face was full of doubts, obviously not understanding why his boss would have a relationship with a restaurant owner in Chinatown.
Yi Chen took the post, didn't open it, frowned, and asked him, "Where is the person who sent the letter?"
Dahan spread his hands helplessly: "He threw the post in, said a few words and left...... It's incredible, he can throw such a fluttering post five meters away. ”
Yi Chen took a long breath, Fili, Kane, and Jester quickly stood up, and even Sally's eyes widened, a post can be thrown five meters away, and the difficulty can be imagined.
Jester looked at Yi Chen, and said a little ill-willedly: "Boss, what have you done in Chinatown? Did you do something to abduct underage girls? People are coming to the door now?" He reached out and snatched the post in Yi Chen's hand, flipped it quickly, and then rolled his eyes, on it was neat traditional calligraphy, how did he know it?
Jester's luck turned out and he threw the post out, only to be enveloped in a cloud of fire that turned to ashes as soon as he got out of his hand.
Yi Chen looked at Jester helplessly: "Damn, can't you experiment with your strength in a different way?" That guy has a very high qigong cultivation...... Yes, Qigong, my master told me that there are some schools in the Chinese world that have been handed down, and many of them are still related to some of our sects, but what are they looking for us for?
The black man Che Li rolled his eyes for a long time, and after thinking for a long time, he looked at Yi Chen's face, gestured for a long time and said: "It looks younger than the boss, oh, the faces of the Oriental people look similar, of course, the boss is extraordinarily different." ”
Che Li's lame sycophant made everyone present laugh, Yi Chen shook his head and said, "Forget it, okay, this restaurant owner is looking for me, so look for me...... In the Chinese quarter of London, I only know three or four old people, they won't be looking for me, it doesn't matter, guys, I'll see it tomorrow, maybe I can mix an authentic Chinese meal. ”
Kane asked, "So, what about David?"
Yi Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Kane, don't worry, I won't let him go easily." Since he has the courage to come to our door, then he should have the courage and ability to bear all the consequences...... Just in case, Kane, let's bring more people to the vicinity of that restaurant tomorrow, and in public, we can't use our own power...... In case of a conflict, Jester, you are only allowed to punch, not to use your superpowers, understand?"
Jester jumped up, quickly waved his fist twice, made a 'Xiuxiu' sound of breaking the air, and excitedly jumped back and forth with small broken steps, "Don't worry, boss, I'll let them know how good I am...... Haha......"
Fei Li shrugged her shoulders, walked over and leaned on Yi Chen's body, and asked him gently: "However, those people are also Chinese, boss." ”
Yi Chen whistled and said, "It's okay, people don't necessarily have malicious intentions, okay, let's rest...... Kane, remember to arrange your staff. ”
Kane nodded, "I'll go check the terrain now, I'll arrange the manpower." Cheli, the address of the restaurant, tell me. ”
Cheli nodded and went out with Kane.

At noon the next day, Yi Chen drove to the agreed restaurant with Kane, Fili, Jester, and Sally, and there was a car behind him, with five of Kane's subordinates in it. Around the restaurant, all of Kane's subordinates were secretly housed, and a large number of Phil's subordinates also came, one by one pretending to be tourists and wandering around.
Yi Chen looked at the gold-lettered signboard that was already a little blackened: "Songhe Tower." He shook his head and said, "Really, Songhe, what are you doing with such elegance? Isn't it just a restaurant?"
There was not a single diner in the hall on the first floor, a young man dressed in a traditional Tang costume, a white cloth coat inside, a pair of black trousers underneath, and a pair of green cloth shoes on his feet sat in the center, holding a cup of tea in his hand, blowing it carefully, and then taking a sip gently.
Seeing that Yi Chen had brought nine people into the gate, the young man quickly put down the teacup and walked over lightly.
Yi Chen frowned, and Jester was excited, and both of them noticed that the young man's feet were as heavy as light, and every step looked crooked, but in fact, each step was the same size, and he walked along a straight line.
Yi Chen bowed his hand to the young man slightly, but Jester stood slightly in a figure-eight step, showing a challenging look at the young man.
The young man smiled slightly, put his right hand behind his back, and said with his left hand: "Please come here, our old man Tang is waiting for Mr. Yi upstairs." ”
Yi Chen nodded and walked towards the stairs at the end of the hall, but Jester hit the young man with an elbow intentionally or unintentionally, and the tip of the elbow was aimed at the young man's heart, deliberately making him make a fool of himself on the spot.
The young man's pale-faced finger popped out, and it just happened to hit the numb tendon on the tip of Jester's elbow, Jester's hand shook, his eyes rolled, and he punched him. Kane behind him stretched out his big hand, firmly grasped Jester's fist, and said in a low voice: "The boss is far away, don't delay time." ”
Jester glanced at the young man indignantly, and made a threatening gesture to him with his right hand slashing across his neck in the shape of a knife. The young man smiled, but still didn't say a word, and walked forward like a cloud, leading the way in front of Yi Chen.
Yi Chen went up to the second floor and bypassed the pine crane welcome screen, and the posture in front of him made him slightly startled.
A few old people who looked like they were in their seventies and eighties, with more than a dozen middle-aged people sitting in the center of the upstairs hall, behind them, a shrine was enshrined on a piece of red paper, on which were written in five big characters: "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher." ”
Yi Chen shook his head gently, stepped forward, and said to a few old men: "You invite me to come, I am here, what do you have to do?" If there is no advice, I will leave. Yi Chen used the Sichuan dialect near Emei Mountain, and he couldn't speak Mandarin well, so he had to say something he had been familiar with since childhood.
An old man stood up, and said in the same native voice as Yi Chen: "Mr. Yi, we came to you just to ask you a question." ”
Yi Chen looked at the old man and the middle-aged man with a sinking face, and muttered in his heart: "I haven't heard of any powerful gangs in Chinatown, where did this group of people come from? "Yi Chen instantly mastered their strength, and being able to look good at Yi Chen's strength at this moment can be regarded as shocking.
The young man who led the way stepped forward and said, "We just want to ask Mr. Yi, do you know those five words?"
Yi Chen laughed a little sarcastically: "Just kidding, do you treat me as an idiot? Heaven and Earth Monarch, who doesn't know these words? Did you deliberately invite me over and then insult me?"
The young man then said, "Then ......."
Yi Chen interrupted him: "Dear friend, this is the second question. ”
Everyone in the hall changed color, an old man holding a rosewood dragon head crutch slammed his crutches, the entire hall on the second floor seemed to tremble, Jester whistled softly, surprised by the strength of this old man.
The old man said sharply, "What a flamboy, didn't your master teach you the basic way of life?"
Yi Chen said lazily: "My master, strange, what master do I have? Forget it, Fei Li, let's go, a group of them asked some strange questions inexplicably, I don't need to pay attention to them." ”
Yi Chen turned around and left, he was completely using the same methods to deal with Wiggins and the others against these old men.
The old man present was furious in his heart, and in their minds always thought that as long as he was a Chinese, in the face of so many elders, he would be more or less polite, who knew that they would meet such a monster as Yi Chen? When he was on the mountain, the elders of the division never wanted Yi Chen to respect too much, Tian Xianzi and Tian Fengzi were crazy with a group of juniors at all, who taught him these traditional Chinese etiquette ways?
The wind was howling, and the old man with the crutches jumped up one by one, almost gliding against the ground, and the crutches smashed into the crook of Yi Chen's knees with a whistle, intending to make him kneel to the ground. They also saw that Yi Chen had kung fu, but they didn't expect that Yi Chen's kung fu and what they thought were fundamentally different things.
Kane scolded, a fist the size of a sea bowl punched out, the fist and the head of the crutch collided, and with a loud bang, the old man flew back, and Kane also took a few steps back unsteadily. Kane exclaimed in German, "Is this old man a monster? ”
Yi Chen turned around violently, stared at a group of people with indifferent eyes, and said coldly: "That's all for today, I don't want to talk to a group of people who don't make it clear...... Be careful, don't let me lose my temper, otherwise, I'll blow up your pine crane tower. ”
The young man who led the way walked up gently, looked at Yi Chen calmly, Yi Chen was attracted by the clear light in his eyes, and after looking at each other for a long time, he nodded lightly and said, "I like you more like this kid, so I will give you a chance to let you speak clearly." I've always liked to get things straight......"
Several middle-aged people in the back were furious, stood up and shouted: "What an arrogant offspring." The old man, who also had a Sichuan Tuyin, clenched his fists even more, and he wanted to teach Yi Chen a good lesson. Several of the subordinates behind Kane turned grimac, and their hands reached into their arms, gripping their weapons, and their training allowed them to shoot in 0.07 seconds, and then hit two targets in the forehead.
The young man waved his hand slightly, and the angry crowd immediately calmed down.
The young man arched his hand slightly and said, "Let me introduce, my name is Tang Hu, and this old gentleman with a cane is my grandfather Tang Biao...... These old men and uncles are also the leaders of Longmen, our secret gang in Chinatown, and I think now you know who we are. ”
Yi Chen crossed his hands, put them on his lower abdomen, slightly parted his legs, tilted his head to look at Tang Hu and said, "Yes, I know...... Isn't it true that you want to do business with me? Let me state first, I don't touch drugs or women, but if you want a lot of arms, I think you've found the right person. ”
Tang Hu laughed, applauded lightly and said, "Look, I'm sorry, I'm slacking...... You see, if we want to kill, we don't need arms. We're pretty good, and I have that confidence. ”
A Taishi chair was lifted up, facing Tang Biao and they put it down, Yi Chen slowly sat down, and Fei Li and they stood cautiously three meters behind Yi Chen.
Tang Hu took a few steps back, pointed to the red paper in the shrine and said, "Mr. Yi said that he knows these words, so very good, please Mr. Yi said, what do these words mean?"
Yi Chen was dumbfounded, the 'Heaven and Earth Monarch' was made by people in the world, representing traditional Chinese morality, his master had never taught this, he could only be sloppy: "Mr. Tang Hu, I don't think we have to waste time, just say it, what do you want to ask me?"
Tang Hu was solemn and asked word by word: "Then, may I ask, do you admit that you are Chinese?"
Yi Chen smiled dumbly, shook his head and was about to stand up, just about to speak, but when he saw Tang Biao below, all the people in the 'Dragon Gate' looked at him with solemn expressions, looking at the red paper that had been blackened by the smoke and fire, Yi Chen slowly relaxed his body and gently leaned on the Taishi chair.
Tang Hu continued to ask him: "Excuse me, do you admit that you are Chinese?"
Countless things flashed through Yi Chen's mind, I don't know when I had the memory, I was young, I was not more than three years old at that time, right? Turning things through the garbage heap in the cold wind...... The two strangely dressed old men saw themselves frozen on the edge of the gutter, rushed over and hugged themselves, and then they seemed to fly...... For the first time in my life, I remembered the first hot soup after eating a full meal......
Also, those boys who are a little younger than themselves chase after their butts all day long and call themselves senior brothers......
Carrying a board made of Tianshan cedar all day long, beating his own ass and asking the master to recite the mantra by himself......
Crazy all day long, you can pretend to be a dog to let yourself ride the wind of the sky......
When I returned to Shanghai and saw so many people with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin like myself, I almost collapsed on the 'Duke of Windsor'......
All the way north, see those cheerful crowds......
When I saw the Great Wall for the first time in my life, the dragon shocked me, and the tears I shed when I communicated with the soul of the Great Wall......
As Plov and the others traveled south, they saw the wonders of Chinese ancient wisdom......
Yi Chen looked at Tang Hu and them deeply, looked at the people in front of him who were also black-haired, black-eyed and yellow-skinned, slowly stood up, arched his hand slightly, and said softly: "Yes, of course, why not......? Of course I am Chinese. ”
Tang Biao slammed the floor with his crutches, and the hall trembled again, and he asked sharply: "Well, since you admit that you are Chinese, then, let me ask you, why do you want to cooperate with Xiao Yuben's fucking group of miscellaneous people?"
Yi Chen was stunned, and looked at Tang Biao in a daze, saying himself again, and saying himself again. From Fatadio's mouth, he knew that he had a holiday with China, but this time, it was from the mouth of his own compatriots that he issued such a bitter hatred. Yi Chen deeply felt that when Tang Biao said these three words, the hatred that came out of his heart was deep, and the hatred that was full of blood.
Yi Chen didn't know how to deal with such a scene, what could he say? Can he say that he has always been cultivating in the mountains, and his teachers are all hundreds of years old monsters? Can he say that he doesn't know anything about modern history? Can he say that he doesn't know anything at all? If he says it, will these people who see the murderous spirit rising to believe it?
Tang Hu asked coldly: "Mr. Yi Chen, may I ask, why do you want to cooperate with Yu himself, that is, the Yamaguchi Group? You admit that you are a Chinese, so may I ask you, why do you want to cooperate with Yu himself?"
Jester slammed out and yelled, "Fuck, what the hell are you......?
Yi Chen punched Jester out, Jester snorted miserably and flew more than ten meters in the air, slammed into a pillar, and the thick pillar snapped from the middle with a bang, Jester fell to the ground in embarrassment, he didn't dare to talk anymore, got up quickly, and stood behind Yi Chen honestly.
Tang Biao and the others were moved and shouted: "Good fist power." ”
Tang Hu nodded, hugged his fists at Yi Chen and said, "Good kung fu, Mr. Yi really surprised us...... We also know that Mr. Yi has a lot of power in the city of London, but in order to get an explanation, even if we all die here today, Mr. Yi must give us an answer. ”
The bosses of the 'Dragon Gate' slowly stood up, slowly standing in an arc, looking at Yi Chen with blazing eyes.
Yi Chen was a little flustered for the first time in his life, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, I don't want to do anything with you, but you listen to my explanation, I ...... I ......"
Tang Biao nodded and said, "Mr. Yi, we're listening." ”
Yi Chen took a long breath, looked at Tang Hu and said, "Believe me, I don't know anything about previous history at all, and I can be said to know nothing about history." What I know best is the period of the Warring States Period, but what I know is also something that you don't know, how to put it, that is, what you know is the real history of the Warring States Period, and what I know is what you seem to think is a legend......"
The more Yi Chen spoke, the more complicated it became, and he didn't know how to organize the words, and the cold sweat on his forehead dripped down one by one.
Tang Hu barely understood his words: "I probably understand, what Mr. Yi means is that you have been growing up in a place that is basically isolated from the world, so you don't know the history of these foundations at all?"
Yi Chen spread his hands: "Yes, please believe that even if you come to the UK, what I pay attention to, you should also think of it, it will not be a historical thing." ”
An old man beside Tang Biao said loudly: "Then, let's even if you don't know about Xiao Yuben, we don't want to do anything to you, if you break off the cooperation with Xiao Yuben, we will let you go...... Chinese, do not fight Chinese. ”
Yi Chen was silent for a long time, and then shook his head gently: "I'm sorry, I can't agree." ”
The people of the 'Dragon Gate' were furious, and they were about to pounce. Tang Hu hurriedly shook his head and said, "Uncles and uncles, wait a minute, let's listen to Mr. Yi's explanation." ”
Yi Chen said lightly: "I admit that I am Chinese, I admit it...... However, I would never change my decision because of someone else's opinion. The Yamaguchi-gumi and I signed an agreement to cooperate, and I had to complete this agreement. I know a rough idea of where your hatred comes from, but I don't have that idea......"
Tang Hu nodded and said, "Then, may I ask Mr. Yi, what do you mean?" ”
Yi Chen bit his lip, thought about it for a long time, and whispered: "Give me half a year, I will do my best to learn that history, and I will do my best to find all the relevant information...... Half a year later, I told you about my decision. ”
Tang Hu nodded and said seriously: "I believe that Mr. Yi is a person who does what he says, so our 'Longmen' will not be stingy with half a year...... But please note Mr. Yi, after half a year, if you are still the same, we will have to ......"
An old voice came from behind a screen: "Xiao Yi, I haven't seen you for a few years...... "An old man who was too old to walk walked slowly walked out.
Jester's face also became serious, and he and Yi Chen greeted him together. Yi Chen was in Chinatown at the beginning, renting this old man's house, at that time, Yi Chen, could not use his true yuan to make Jester completely recover, if there was no old man to help catch medicine, boil medicine or something, it would be difficult for Jester to recover. But at that time, Yi Chen lost interest in everything, and he didn't even know what the old man's name was.
The old man looked at Yi Chen, sighed and said, "I don't know if what you said is true, but you remember, you remember to me, no matter where we are, no matter what nationality we have, our roots, or Chinese...... Chinese, never Chinese...... Xiao Yi, you remember, I say that the enmity with us can never be resolved, either they are dead, or we are dead, and there is no other result...... This young man, you remember the old man, the old man is very happy, but you are not our man, you will not understand what we are thinking, and you will not understand our feelings. ”
Yi Chen looked at the old man, not knowing what to say.
The people from the 'Dragon Gate' looked at Yi Chen quietly and didn't speak.
After a long time, Tang Hu whispered: "Mr. Yi, we found out that you lived on this street for a period of time before, so we invited your landlord at that time, I think, you still have feelings for him, right?"
The old man grabbed Yi Chen's hand tightly, and his eyes exuded outright hatred: "I say that I, all of them deserve to die, you must not get together with them...... Remember, remember, must remember. ”
Yi Chen slowly withdrew his hand, did not answer, and walked out with the person.
The people of the 'Dragon Gate' didn't move, they didn't know what they were thinking, and after a long time, Tang Hu whispered: "Yi Chen, he is a very interesting person......
Tang Biao said viciously: "Stubborn boy, after half a year, I will see what kind of explanation he will give us...... It's strange, is there such a closed family in China now? Why haven't we heard of it? If what he said is true, he jumped out of that deep mountain and old forest?"
The old man with a Sichuan accent snorted heavily: "He is from the vicinity of Emei Mountain in Sichuan, I, bah, he can't be the fairy in "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan", right?
Yi Chen's attitude made the people of 'Longmen' very dissatisfied, only Tang Hu understood Yi Chen's psychology a little, Yi Chen is a person who will never succumb to external forces, unless he agrees with one thing, otherwise, he will never change his decision because of external forces.
Half a year, half a year, what can Yichen do?
