At the moment of crisis, Liu Xiong raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, we have been driven to a desperate situation, as long as we retreat today, we will all die sooner or later, and if we want to die, we have to fight and kill." After speaking, Liu Xiong rushed forward with a knife. Zhuang Lianhai and others were inspired by Liu Xiong's fighting spirit, and they rushed over without fear of death. The other thirty people originally thought that the victory was in hand, but they didn't expect these people to take the lead in attacking them, and immediately hurriedly entangled, because Zhuang Lianhai was a few people tightly together, and although there were many people on the other side, they were not in formation, and they seemed to be scattered, and they did not form combat power at all, but let Zhuang Lianhai's people have the upper hand.

During the fight, Liu Xiong saw that the opponent was scattered, and he shrank in the corner alone. The opportunity was rare, Liu Xiong immediately rushed out of the team, kicked away a horse boy, and then rushed straight towards the big guy, the big guy saw Liu Xiong attacking, and immediately shouted for help, but no little brother around him could rush over to save him at this time, so he begged Liu Xiong for mercy instead, promising that as long as Liu Xiong let him go, he could not blame the past, and he could also give Liu Xiong considerable benefits. It's a pity that he met Liu Xiong, a ruthless man, before he finished speaking, Liu Xiong didn't hesitate to raise the knife and fall, the big guy instinctively raised his arms to block, because the force was too great, Liu Xiong's knife actually fell deep into the opponent's arm bone. Liu Xiong tried hard to take the knife back, but he couldn't pull it, so he flew up violently, and pulled the knife back with the force of kicking the opponent away, and then stepped forward again, slashing the other party without any life. Seeing that Liu Xiong killed the other party, Zhuang Lianhong immediately rushed forward to kill the two horses and protect Liu Xiong back.

"Now that we've taken revenge, let's find a way to withdraw. Zhuang Lianhong said to Liu Xiong.

Liu Xiong thought for a while and pointed to the other three bigwigs and said: "No, the three of them are not easy to mess with, if you offend them today, we will not end well, it is better to solve it together." ”

Zhuang Lianhong was shocked, he didn't expect Liu Xiong to be so ruthless, but what he said was indeed reasonable, if he offended one person, he was cornered by the other party, and now he has offended the three big guys, and there is no way to live in the future, so it is better to fight now. So a few people continued to defend with each other, and I don't know if the other party drank too much at night or was hollowed out by the wine, and they didn't play their due combat power at all, and they couldn't have the upper hand in the face of more than half of their own people. At this time, Zhuang Lianhong was accidentally kicked on the offering table of Master Guan, and he felt that the whole person touched a hard object, which was painful. Zhuang Lianhong fixed his eyes and saw that it was a nearly two-meter evergreen dragon glaive knife enshrined on the table, but he didn't think that most of the whole body of this knife was made of real iron, I am afraid that it weighed twenty or thirty catties. Zhuang Lianhong's weapon was knocked off, and he raised the Qinglong knife with both hands and slashed forward. However, because the knife was too heavy, it delayed its action, and it was not easy to take it back when it was slashed. Just when the other party despised him, Zhuang Lianhong took back the knife again, changed it to a sweep, and danced the knife in a circle, constantly sweeping towards the other party. Most of the other party are short knives and daggers, where can they withstand such devastation, they have avoided it, and twenty or thirty people were broken up by Zhuang Lianhong alone. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Xiong led people to break down one by one, and kept strangling those lone horses, and after a while, the other party couldn't stand it, and was chased and killed by these people, and the other three bigwigs also hung up two in the chaos, and the other one was injured and escaped with a few of his brothers. Seeing that the boss hung up, the allies ran away, and the rest of the horses didn't know what to do, and they all broke up.

At this time, Zhuang Lianhong stunned himself, saw that the enemy was scattered, suddenly lost his strength, the big knife came out of his hand, flew straight out and smashed the door of the mahjong hall out of a big hole. Liu Xiong looked at the scene, although all the people on his side were hanging colors, none of them fell, and no less than ten people on the other side fell horizontally, and he didn't know how many died, but all he cared about was whether the big guys were dead. Seeing that the target was too dead to die, Liu Xiong asked everyone to retreat quickly.

The days after the revenge have not only not become easier, but have become more and more sad, in addition to a few bigwigs' subordinates looking for them everywhere, the police are also looking for them everywhere. After several twists and turns, Zhuang Lianhong took several brothers to Tai O and wandered in the casino for a while. Liu Xiong, on the other hand, stayed on the island and secretly observed the development of the situation. A year later, Liu Xiong told Zhuang Lianhong that things had taken a turn for the better, and the big guy who escaped that day was seriously injured and had not recovered since he fled back, and hung up after half a year, and several of the big guys' younger brothers did not accept anyone, today you are in power, tomorrow I will kill you, and the whole area will be in chaos. The police needed someone to come out to clean up the situation, so they found Liu Xiong and promised that as long as Liu Xiong could settle those horses, the past could be blamed.

After receiving the news, Zhuang Lianhong took his original brothers, together with a few horses newly harvested in Tai O this year, and more than a dozen people returned to Treasure Island again. Because Zhuang Lianhong also played a prestige in the first battle of the mahjong hall, many people on the road were deeply impressed by him, and under Liu Xiong's planning, many of them took the initiative to defect to Zhuang Lianhong's command. After another desperate battle, Zhuang Lianhong and Liu Xiong's power became bigger and bigger, and the income from smuggling also increased. After another two years, they swept through several local halls in one go, and finally monopolized the smuggling business in this area. But they were not satisfied with this, and began to extend their hands to various other fields, gambling, pornography...... Even legitimate business has been done a lot. In the next few years, because Zhuang Lianhong was a foreigner who was smuggled in, it was not easy to completely bleach, so between him and Liu Xiong, Zhuang Lianhong was basically in charge of the underworld, and Liu Xiong was in charge of the business of the white road. This harmonious relationship was maintained until more than 20 years ago.

As Liu Xiong's connection with Bai Dao became closer and closer, at the age of 30, Liu Xiong finally planned to marry the daughter of a parliamentarian. On the day of the wedding, Zhuang Lianhong and a kind of brothers went to congratulate them with great interest, but because of the woman's family background and Liu Xiong's original connections in Baidao, the whole wedding scene presented a different scene. The two levels of differentiation at the scene are very serious, the people at the table here are well-dressed and gentle, and they are very polite and well-behaved, while the people at the other tables are disheveled, full of anger, shouting loudly at the wedding scene, and behaving very indecently. What's even funnier is that there is a table full of police officers, and the table next to it is all underworld bosses, and many people know each other and have a deep estrangement.

After three rounds of drinking, just as a councillor pulled Liu Xiong to chat, asking him to seize the opportunity and have a promising future, Liu Xiong's small leaders were probably happy for the boss's wedding, and even took the brothers to toast at a table, many guests were eating and eating and saw a group of fierce men surrounding the table, and then neatly holding wine glasses to toast, the posture seemed not to drink is not to give face, so scared that some people who did not drink had to raise their wine glasses and tremble to dry. This move made the high-ranking people of Baidao frown, and the councilor was even more angry and didn't say anything more. And Liu Xiong, who saw all this, also felt that the wedding was very inappropriate, and immediately asked the brothers of the underworld to eat and drink quickly and leave quickly. Liu Xiong originally did not let Zhuang Lianhong leave, but Zhuang Lianhong was very unhappy when he saw many brothers being persuaded by Liu Xiong to leave, and he also got up to say goodbye and took the brothers to find another place to drink.

After that day, there seemed to be an indescribable gap between Zhuang Lianhong and Liu Xiong, although this marriage allowed Liu Xiong to get involved in politics and go more and more smoothly, but Zhuang Lianhong felt more and more that Liu Xiong began to be out of sync with himself, and the distance between the two gradually became larger and larger. Two years later, Liu Xiong participated in the regional election, but some of the previous things were turned over by people with intentions. In order to completely whitewash and get rid of Zhuang Lianhong's constraints on himself, Liu Xiong actually pushed all the past crimes on Zhuang Lianhong, and then secretly colluded with the forces of black and white to launch an offensive against Zhuang Lianhong.

Originally, Zhuang Lianhong was not without the power to fight back, but he didn't expect Liu Xiong to be the mastermind behind this matter. One night, Zhuang Lianhong, who had no idea, was asked by Liu Xiong to drink, and the two drank a lot and opened their hearts and talked a lot. Zhuang Lianhong also seemed to feel something, hoping that Liu Xiong could return to the beginning and advance and retreat together with his brothers. But Liu Xiong told Zhuang Lianhong that he had his own choice and could never go back.

Zhuang Lianhong laughed out loud and said to Liu Xiong: "It is said that there are no eternal brothers, only eternal interests, it seems that we can't escape this curse!"

Liu Xiong smiled awkwardly: "If you divide for a long time, you will be together for a long time, and some things will be good for everyone if you see through them earlier." ”

Zhuang Lianhong knew that this should be the last wine he and Liu Xiong drank in the name of brothers, Liu Xiong's words made him think that the other party was thinking about drawing a clear line and living separately, but Zhuang Lianhong missed the word "earlier", Liu Xiong meant that if it could be earlier, it would not have come to this point today, but it was too late. That night, Liu Xiong suddenly attacked when Zhuang Lianhong was drunk, and many brothers in the interior also fought back under Liu Xiong's bribe. In the end, Zhuang Lianhong's power was uprooted overnight, and none of the dozen or so brothers who followed him to Treasure Island betrayed him, and he was almost completely lost in this turmoil, leaving only a Tai O man named "Scar" and another brother who came from Hong Kong Island to protect Zhuang Lianhong from Treasure Island and come to Tai O again.

Speaking of this, Bai Shuo suddenly glanced at the person present with an obvious scar engraved on his face. The man obviously felt everyone's gaze, and also stood up and said: "That's right, I am the scar who escaped back at the beginning, you avenged me and my eldest brother, and I will toast you here." After that, he picked up a glass of about 2 taels of liquor and dried it in one gulp. At this time, Bai Shuo asked Zhuang Lianhong, "......What about the other brother?"

Zhuang Lianhong sighed: "That brother was seriously injured at that time, although it was not fatal, but after two years of recuperation in Tai O, he did not get better, and finally left. ”

Bai Shuo sighed, and asked Zhuang Lianhong what happened after he came to Tai O, and whether he had taken revenge over the years. Zhuang Lianhong's mood at this time was no longer so gloomy, and then talked about what happened later.

After that, Liu Xiong had smooth sailing on Treasure Island, like a fish in water. Those shady things were handed over to a few leaders under his command to do, and he himself was completely bleached and became a legitimate businessman and a rising star in the political arena. After Zhuang Lianhong fled to Tai O, the boss who was in Tai O took him in again, and jokingly said: "Your surname is Zhuang Lianhong, and you are destined to engage in the gambling industry. In the next ten years, Zhuang Lianhong grew up step by step with the boss and became the most powerful assistant around the boss, and the boss also liked him very much, because he had no children under his knees, he treated him as a righteous son. Ten years ago, the boss died of illness and handed over his forces to Zhuang Lianhong on his deathbed, but he was asked to swear that he could not go to Baodao to find Liu Xiong for revenge. Zhuang Lianhong knew that this was the boss's last painstaking effort, and agreed to the boss's last request with tears in his eyes. After Zhuang Lianhong became the new boss, he fulfilled his promise and did not think about going to Treasure Island to take revenge, but concentrated on the development of the inherited business, and finally built the largest casino and hotel in Tai O, becoming the most powerful gambling king in Tai O.

Although Zhuang Lianhong's story is very simple, Bai Shuo and others have heard the extraordinaryness of Uncle Zhuang's life, and they also understand the reason why they are so courteous to their people. Except for Anna, Chen Bing and other people who don't drink that day, the others were all drunk, Zhuang Lianhong was finally helped back by the younger brothers, and when he left, Scar also said to Bai Shuo and others: I haven't seen Zhuang Lianhong drink so much wine in more than ten years.

On the way back to the room, Bai Shuo chatted with Cao An and Zhuzi beside him about the things they had experienced these days, and also talked about the grievances between Zhuang Lianhong and Liu Xiong. Bai Shuo said: "Uncle Zhuang and Liu Xiong were also young after all, and they used to be ambitious and brave, just like us now. ”

When Cao An and Zhuzi both nodded in agreement, Bai Shuo suddenly recited Zhuang Lianhong's words: "There are no eternal brothers, only eternal interests." Fatty, do you think that if our brothers are developed in the future, they will be like Zhuang Lianhong and Liu Xiong?"

"How is that possible?" Cao An didn't think about and shouted immediately.

Zhu Zi also said: "The most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart, but at least I dare to say that our brothers who grew up together will not go to their point anyway." Our brothers have become brothers since childhood because of feelings, and Zhuang Lianhong and Liu Xiong originally walked together because of interests, although they also supported each other during the period, and even worked hard for each other, but the core thing is still the word interests. ”

Bai Shuo smiled happily: "Yes, the pillar is reasonable." But in fact, Zhuang Lianhong is not without true brotherhood, at least those brothers who died for him are still scars who have always been by his side, these people are the real brothers......"

That night, Bai Shuo was finally able to relax and sleep well, probably because he was too tired to fall asleep as soon as he fell, and he also dreamed about what he had experienced these days. The word "brother" kept echoing in my mind in my dream.
