Chapter 304: It Seems to Be an Old Friend
"Gang leader, the incense master and a dozen or so backbones on South Street have been arrested again today. A man with his head wrapped in a black cloth reported to Lu Zhenbang.
It was a dark and narrow room, with stone walls on all sides, an open wooden door, and no windows.
The light in the room came from an oil lamp lit inside. In the dim light, the lower part of the wooden door can be seen, which is covered with speckled mold.
Lu Zhenbang sat on a clumsy wooden chair, his face as ugly as mold: "You were betrayed by the original gang again?" Didn't I say that you should stop contacting the people below?"
Hearing Lu Zhenbang's tone full of anger, the black cloth man said with some trepidation: "Helper, everyone knows your words, and they don't dare to disobey them." But if you want to do anything, you can't always rely on these backbones and incense masters. ”
"I see, don't mind, I'm just a little irritable. Lu Zhenbang noticed that his attitude was a little out of control, and slowed down his tone.
"Who are you, how did you get in?" At this time, there was a sudden shout from outside, listening to the voice, it was Lu Zhenbang's henchman guarding the door.
Lu Zhenbang stood up and finally came to the door?
At this moment, his mood suddenly relaxed. For most of the past half a year, he has been living a life of hiding, and his pride seems to have been consumed.
At this time, he realized that his pride was still there!
Since there is nothing to hide, let's fight!
Even if it's the last battle!
"Haha, when the old man came to visit, is this how Gang Master Lu treats guests?" A majestic and magnetic voice sounded heartily.
Lu Zhenbang was pleasantly surprised, and rushed out of the door in a few steps, and was greeted by a flowing young man with a faint smile, looking at him.
"Teacher Chen!"
Lu Zhenbang seemed to have a thousand words that wanted to pour out, but when the words came to his mouth, they became such a name.
The three words "Mr. Chen" seem to have some kind of strange magic, and when people hear it, they will feel that they can finally feel at ease, and all the hardships and hardships seem to end with the arrival of these three words!
In the battle of the palace a year ago, although Chen Hao was in the limelight, he clearly saw his three or two gangs, and it was less than one out of ten.
The henchman who is guarding the door now belongs to a member who has only been famous but has never met. At this time, when he heard that the person he was blocking was the famous "Teacher Chen", he suddenly felt a little confused in his heart, but at the same time, he couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him curiously.
This Teacher Chen looks quite young, and he doesn't seem to have the demeanor of those big people in Plains City at all. His friendly and easy-going smile was as gentle as the eldest son next door, and there was nothing extravagant about his dress, which did not match the wealth of his country in the teleportation.
But from his body, you can feel a completely different temperament!
It's not the kind of aggressive genius, nor the kind of domineering wealth, but it's not at all inferior to the admiration that these things bring.
He is gentle and firm, and people can't help but want to be close and want to rely on.
Although he didn't exude the slightest bit of cultivation coercion, that powerful and unshakable feeling naturally shrouded everyone's hearts!
"Teacher Chen......" Lu Zhenbang stopped again, and for a while he had a feeling of not knowing where to start.
"Don't you invite me into the house to sit?" Chen Hao said with a smile.
"Please come in, please come in. Lu Zhenbang hurriedly said: "The situation is difficult, I have been avoiding Cao Cheng's pursuit, Mr. Chen, please don't dislike the simple living room." ”
"Haha, I've got into the sewers, how can I dislike you here?" Chen Hao said with a smile.
Looking behind him, there was a ditch with gurgling water and a rancid smell. But from Chen Hao's face, there was no trace of disgust.
The room where Lu Zhenbang was hiding was actually a stone room carved out of the sewer, no wonder it was so dark and damp!
After the two sat down, Lu Zhenbang said with a guilty face: "Lu is like a lost dog now, Mr. Chen, please don't laugh." ”
"I haven't seen you for a year, Brother Lu has talked to me, why did you become so rusty?" Chen Hao frowned.
Because Lu felt ashamed in his heart, he felt sorry for Mr. Chen's love. Lu Zhenbang said frankly.
A year ago, Chen Hao invited him to go to the Heavenly Dao Alliance together, but Lu Zhenbang had unfinished business in his chest and categorically rejected Chen Hao's kindness.
But after Chen Hao left, Lu Zhenbang cut off the source of salt. He remembered that he hadn't followed Chen Hao's advice, and he was embarrassed to send someone to Shouwang Valley to ask Wang Meng for help, so he began to rely on his own business to maintain the three or two gangs.
It's not that Chen Hao deliberately wanted to make Lu Zhenbang ugly, just because after getting the Boundary Breaking Shuttle, he was anxious, and Pingyuan City no longer had a specific strategy target, so he forgot to say hello to Wang Meng and let him continue to support Lu Zhenbang.
And Lu Zhenbang himself didn't speak, of course Wang Meng would not take the initiative to send salt support!
"Well, I didn't know until I started my own business that this salt was really not profitable! After only two months, I couldn't afford to pay salt to the gang anymore. Lu Zhenbang laughed self-deprecatingly.
"At this point, you should shrink your front and only keep the core and very loyal members. Chen Hao said.
"Having said that, how am I willing to admit defeat in the first place? Without your support, my gang shrank all at once, and I was a little unwilling at that time. Besides, I was worried that after the gang was disbanded, they would no longer receive salt, and they would hate us because of it, so I couldn't make up my mind. Lu Zhenbang said with a little remorse.
"Shengmi en, fighting Mi Qiu, this simple truth, I thought you already understood, Brother Lu. At the beginning, you relied on salt to win over the people, and this practice has great hidden dangers. Chen Hao said.
"That's true. When I really had no choice but to shrink the front and streamline the gangs, I didn't expect that the gangs who had always supported us knew that they would never receive any more salt, so they began to hate us to the core! At that time, thousands of backbones and dozens of incense lord hall masters were betrayed to the Cao family under their riots!" Lu Zhenbang said this, with hatred in his eyes that could not be forgotten.
Chen Hao said lightly: "Brother Lu doesn't have to mind, let alone hold grudges. The people are like that, but you don't know their nature. It's not good or bad, it's just the nature of mortals. ”
"But I'm not reconciled, I betrayed our brother, and the Cao family never gave them any benefit! Actually, the Cao family originally had some scruples about us, but after we started to mess up from within, Cao Cheng saw our weakness, and since then, he has unscrupulously begun to search for me. ”
Lu Zhenbang continued.
