Chapter 121: Gathering
Lao Hei walked around Xicheng District, and soon found a satisfactory hotel, which was remote enough, and it seemed that the drinks and dishes were not bad, and after sending someone to inform those people, he simply sat down here.
It's sunny outside, and there are only a few people in the hotel with him, and it's a place suitable for discussing big things.
In the middle of the night, he had already gotten the news one step ahead, and after hesitating for a while, he made a decision, and went straight out of the hall, without stopping, relying on the remaining connections in the past, without much effort, he found some people who were interested in taking refuge.
This move was very risky, after all, the situation was not clear at the time, and it was still unknown whether Hall Master Ye would live or die, and whether he would be held responsible.
Thinking about it, he smiled, and sure enough, as expected, the attitude of the upper echelons was to condone rather than pursue, and couldn't help but sit up straight, looking up at the branches and leaves outside, shining in the swaying.
Starting in the middle of the night, it took about two hours to visit the list in my heart one by one, following the hidden ambitions of each person, aiming at the weaknesses of those people, and with the dexterity of the tongue, the future gains were all over the place, and finally succeeded in attracting some people who were cast and scattered.
This step was completely reached before the judgment of the meeting, and it was also the final pass to reflect his value, if it was recruited after the meeting, it was just icing on the cake, and there was a suspicion of clinging, but since it was done before the meeting, it was a charcoal in the snow, and it was prescient.
Presumably, Hall Master Ye would also look up to him from this, and those who were temporarily frightened by his eloquence had to bow to his foresight after learning the news of the results of the meeting.
The most ideal result is to establish the authority of the Ye Hall Master through this matter, as well as his own superior status, after all, as a leading figure, he is naturally not comparable to ordinary gangs.
The sun is shining in Xicheng District, the heat is steaming in all directions, there is the sultry heat before the storm and rain, the golden colors are spread out layer by layer, the floor tiles are rough and scorching, and occasionally the fallen leaves rise with the wind and fall into the lonely hotel.
The shopkeeper touched the sweat on his forehead, his face was full of smiles, after all, the geographical location here is not good, there are not many customers, and he can earn a penny is a penny, and he dare not slack off at all.
Seeing that the guest officer sitting down was silent and had not yet ordered, and was a little apprehensive in his heart, he walked over with a smile on his face and asked politely, "What does this guest officer need?"
Listening to the voice, Lao Hei also woke up, glanced around, and then looked at the shopkeeper in front of him, middle-aged, with wrinkled face, and gray hair, and suddenly sighed in his heart, life is difficult!
He could see that the owner's cultivation was not bad, at least it was a one-level cultivation, not much worse than him, otherwise he would not be qualified to be in charge of a hotel.
Now that people are middle-aged, but in terms of the life span of a monk, it can be regarded as the stage of the peak stage, but looking at the qi of this shopkeeper, you can reveal a little weak taste, obviously smoothed out by the fatigue of life.
Lao Hei sighed lightly, his face was a little gloomy, if he hadn't found a backer with unlimited prospects, he would have been doomed to his future fate from the moment he was abandoned by Linghu Mountain, but he was afraid that he would not be much better than the shopkeeper in front of him.
Being able to open a small hotel in Xicheng District is just a blessing.
Seeing that the customer was silent, the shopkeeper thought that he had offended the other party somewhere, and said cautiously: "The guest officer ......"
"Oh! Just a bowl of rice wine and half a catty of cooked beef. Lao Hei came to his senses, touched his head, and immediately ordered food.
Listening, the shopkeeper suddenly smiled, and even said that the guest officer waited for a while, then turned his head and walked inside, raised his voice and said, "A bowl of rice wine, half a catty of cooked beef!"
After a while, there was a bowl of rice wine, a plate and a half catty of cooked beef were served, Lao Hei saw that he was hungry, and hurriedly picked up the wine bowl and drank, and after drinking, he ate the beef again.
After eating for a while, I saw a few figures walking not far away.
Under the rays of sunlight, I took a closer look, and saw that there were three people who came, all of whom were wearing linen clothes and straw sandals, walking step by step, looking calm and powerful.
The faces of the three people are different, one has a thin face and a thin body, like a monkey, the other is burly, with a straight face, with two mustaches, and the last person has a face and flesh, with a bit of fierce and vicious aura, just look at the strong arms, you can know that it is not good.
Seeing these three people, Lao Hei was overjoyed and relieved, he was finally willing to give face, and the others were just idle idlers, but these three people came from a lot of backgrounds, and their strength was far above him, but they offended the middle and senior leaders of the gang, and they were semi-exiled to do rough work, and they were not allowed to be reused.
Lao Hei immediately got up to greet him: "Brother Zhang, Brother Lu, Brother Shen, come in." ”
Calling the eldest brother, with Lao Hei's cheekiness, he is extremely familiar with nature and has no shame, in fact, these three people can indeed afford the name of the eldest brother in front of Lao Hei.
The thin man's name is Zhang Quan, and he has a peak cultivation of quenching his body, and he once had a record of killing five or six monks of the same rank in a row, and there is fierce power hidden in his small body.
The burly man is Lu Duan, who is also a peak cultivator, with steady moves, good at guarding, and quite unique in terms of spiritual sense, and has repeatedly detected ambushed enemies.
As for Brother Shen, he naturally refers to the fact that the man with a full face, named Shen Shuang, is known for his fierce fighting style by virtue of his quenching body's peak Dao power, and he has no rules at all, and he often catches people off guard, and he was once surrounded by more than a dozen people, and he also successfully escaped.
Listening to Lao Hei's shouting, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and they also came in and sat down, and as soon as they sat down, they shouted: "Shopkeeper, kill a fat chicken, three bowls of spirits, and three pieces of white flour cakes, all of them are delivered by express!"
The shopkeeper smiled happily, and even should be, open the door to do business, since he hoped that the business would be hot, but he didn't expect that before noon, there were so many customers to take care of him, as a small shop, it is extremely rare, and then look at their arrogance in ordering, and suddenly nodded and bowed, wishing that these guests would eat more.
"Lao Hei, you can be regarded as a lucky hit this time!" Zhang Quan, a thin man, spoke first.
These words immediately attracted the other two nodding in agreement, and the burly man Lu Duan said: "That's right, my vision and decisiveness are really not as good as yours, if it weren't for your persuasion last night, I'm just afraid that I will be confused for a while, and I will miss the opportunity." ”
Shen Shuang's face shook, nodded, and said: "No matter how powerful a monk is, he can be vertical and horizontal for a while, but if he doesn't know how to distinguish the direction of the wind and can't estimate the timing, he can only end up being confused and being thrown into idleness to live. If you don't have your tips this time, I'm afraid I'll miss the opportunity again!"
Hearing this, Lao Hei is an old slippery head, so he naturally knows the pros and cons of being touted, so he quickly stood up and helped the three of them pour wine, and said again and again: "The praise of the three big brothers, Lao Hei is really ashamed to take it, in fact, it is just a moment of good luck, and then I hope that the three big brothers can take more care of the little brother, after all, with the strength of the little brother, it is at most just a foil." ”
The four of them greeted each other for a while, holding the bowl and drinking, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious, after a while, Zhang Quan put down the wine bowl, let out a sigh, looked at Lao Hei, and suddenly asked: "The prestige of the Ye Hall Master spread throughout the entire Xicheng District early in the morning, and everyone was shocked, but ...... Do you really think this can be done?"
Hearing this, Lao Hei's drinking action slowly stopped, knowing that the other party still had some doubts, a confident smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "If the three of you believe in Lao Hei and me, Lao Hei will definitely not let you down!"
