At three o'clock in the morning, the electric tea kettle in the study room continued to steam.
"It's a good thing for young people to have courage and loyalty. I couldn't be like you when I was as old as you."
After making tea, Boss Xing poured me a cup first, then pushed the teacup over.
The gun was right next to my hand, and he didn't even look at it. This calmness proved that he had been through many big scenes.
"It smells so good. What kind of tea is this?"
"Young people have never drank it, right? This is the wild forsythia tea from the Taihang Mountains in Lingchuan, Shanxi Province. It is a kind of medicinal tea and is most suitable for drinking when you stay up late."
"There is another story about Forsythia. It is said that hundreds of years ago, the king of medicine was poisoned while testing medicine in the mountains. He was about to die from the poison. His daughter, Forsythia, who was accompanying him, was so anxious that she pulled some yellow grass from the roadside.
After the King of Medicine took it, people miraculously recovered. From then on, people named this herb after the King of Medicine’s daughter and called it Forsythia suspensa.”
Boss Xing continued: "In addition, this is not an ordinary forsythia. It is the highest grade and rarest golden wild forsythia. It is priceless in the market. It is much rarer than those like Pu'er Tieguanyin. Normally I would be reluctant to take it out.
drink."
"Then I would like to thank Boss Xing for this cup of tea."
He waved his hand: "I'll buy you some tea. Now please start talking about your revenge plan."
After he finished speaking, he handed me a cigar, but I didn't take it. I took out the soft-packed Huazi and lit one.
"Boss Xing, how do you think the first generation of wolf gangs from twenty years ago compares to modern wolf gangs?"
He frowned and said: "If we just talk about power and financial resources, there is no doubt that the current Wolf Gang headed by the boss is stronger. However, the background of the times is different, so it is difficult to make a comparison. I came from that era, and at that time, a person could be stronger than
Ten people in modern times are still fierce."
I nodded: "I'm just a little person. I don't dare to talk about revenge. All I do is to keep myself alive in the cracks."
He was expressionless after hearing this: "Since you are on guard against me and don't want to reveal your plan, then why are you looking for me tonight? Is it just for this cup of tea?"
"Of course not, I want to ask you to do me a favor."
I stated my request.
After hearing this, he thought for two minutes, frowned and said, "I thought you wanted me to help you escape from Shanxi. What happens after that?"
"You don't have to worry about it from now on."
"What's the benefit of me doing this? In my opinion, it can't change the current situation. Even if you don't contact Tian Sanjiu for help, they will send someone to pass the news to Zhengding. By then, Tian Sanjiu's character will definitely not
Just sit back and do nothing. As long as he comes to Shuozhou this time, it won't be like last time. I think there is a 80% chance that he will never come back."
"Young man, I'm going to take a step back and say, if Tian Sanjiu doesn't come to Shuozhou this time, the reputation he has built up in the Taoist community over the years will be greatly affected. It will be said in the Taoist community that he refuses to save his own people.
It's said that he was afraid of Boss Hou and didn't dare to come. Did you understand? That's why I said this was a long-planned assassination. You just happened to be involved at this juncture. This is a conspiracy.
If you fall into a conspiracy, whether he comes or not, you will lose."
"In addition, Tian Sanjiu's base camp in Zhengding is not as impregnable as Taoism says, especially in the past year or two, because some people have complained about the woman named Luo, just because his personal prestige is too strong, and there is no one for the time being.
Dare to speak out."
Boss Xing held a big cigar in his hand, looked at me and continued: "Once something happens to him in Shanxi this time, the boss's power will quickly penetrate into his base camp, and then support a former confidant of Tian Sanjiu to take control of the situation.
After that, it will take one to two years to gradually absorb his people. By then, the boss's power will expand rapidly, and it will be much easier to capture Henan."
"So, don't underestimate these gangsters. There are masters behind them. Boss Hou is very ambitious. In my opinion, he wants to completely surpass Tian Sanjiu and become the true King of the North."
The tea was a little cold, so I poured myself another cup and said calmly: "Boss Xing, do you think Tian Sanjiu couldn't do this many years ago?"
"He can do it!"
"Then why didn't he do it?"
I patted my head: "His mind is not under my command, so I think he has already seen the risks after that step."
"Keep talking."
I dipped my hand in tea and drew a circle on the table, and then drew a few vertical bars in the middle of the circle.
"In Hebei, Shanxi, Henan and other places, the big cake is now separated. If the guests want to eat, they can just pick it up with chopsticks. However, customers have a choice of delicacies every day, and they don't want to use chopsticks to eat the cake."
I put my hand on it and said, "But if it turns out to be a complete cake, I dare say the guest won't even need chopsticks, just grab it with one hand, roll it up with the meat and eat it."
I continued: "What you have told me so much is that you are not optimistic about Boss Hou's future. You want to ride on two boats and see which one can land smoothly in the end."
"Hahaha! Young man, I am more and more optimistic about you. How about you stop messing around and, I'm not kidding, come and be my son-in-law? Follow me and learn how to do business."
"What? My daughter is a little fatter, but she's not ugly at all."
After he finished speaking, he stared at me with an expression that didn't look like he was joking.
I immediately laughed and said, "I'm not good enough for your daughter. I'm just a low-class tomb robber. Your daughter should find a young talent with a high education and good family background."
He shook his head and said: "I don't care about that. What I value is your social experience and mind. Besides, my daughter also has a good feeling for you. Didn't you guys even go surfing the Internet together all night long?"
"You even know this?" I said speechlessly: "I have almost forgotten all the multiplication tables. I know nothing about business. Besides, I am afraid of my sister-in-law."
"What?"
"What is there to be afraid of about my wife? She doesn't eat people."
"Nothing, I was just joking."
I stretched out my hand and said: "Boss Xing, then we have reached an agreement. If Tian Sanjiu wins, then I will truthfully say good things to you. If Boss Hou wins, then I will probably die too. I will die without proof and no one can
Open up your old accounts."
He didn't hesitate, shook my hand and said, "So, you won't pursue the previous matter?"
I shook my head: "If you don't care for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. Besides, you are a businessman and there is nothing to hold accountable. If I were sitting in your position, I would do the same thing."
Businessmen all value long-term interests, and the smarter the businessman, the more so. So this result is within my expectation.
I drank the tea in one breath and turned around to leave. At this time, Boss Xing stopped me again. He asked me to sit down and chat with him for a while. This time I didn't talk about Boss Hou and Brother Tian, but only about the Northern Sect.
I was a little confused and asked him what he wanted to know about the Northern Sect?
He thought for a while and asked mysteriously: "Who is the most awesome tomb robber in your northern sect today? Let's tell the truth from your professional point of view."
"Master Yao." I said without hesitation.
"I've heard of this guy named Yao all the time. You are Silver Fox's apprentice. How do you compare to him?"
"How to compare?" I shook my head: "Let's be honest, we can't compare, it's still one level lower. In other words, he is the highest level, followed by us other northerners."
"Boss Xing, I know you are curious. I can tell you responsibly that Tianxing Feng Shui really exists. Currently, he is the only one in the Northern Faction who masters it. There may also be someone in the regular army who masters it, but that person is too old and cannot
Do you know if you are still alive?"
"When we look at a place, we look at the ground and its shape, while he looks at the sky and its potential."
"The earth is opposite to the sky, the form is opposite to the potential."
"It may sound similar to you, but the actual operation is far different. The knowledge here is so profound that I don't even understand it myself, so I can't explain it to you clearly."
"Although most of the time I can still eat enough, one eats in a panic and in a panic, while the other eats calmly, elegantly, and that's probably it."
He nodded: "You have said so. It seems that Master Yao is really capable. In addition, I also want to know, has anyone from your northern sect ever entered Lishan Mountain?"
"Yes, my uncle went in there."
"What's it like there? Is it written in the book that the rare treasures become the stars and the moon, and the mercury becomes the rivers?"
Looking at his very gossipy expression, I couldn't help but laugh and said: "Yes, the terracotta warriors and horses discovered in Xi'an are just the tip of the iceberg. There are many more under Lishan Mountain. Qin Shihuang's Nine Dragon Coffin drifts on the Milky Way all year round, about every three years.
Return to the origin once, and this origin is the giant Shifangtai detected by the modern archaeological team using high-tech sonar technology."
"Shifangtai may have some kind of external mechanism, and the Nine Dragon Coffin will continue to float after being parked for a period of time, just like reincarnation."
"In addition, there are 100,000 terracotta warriors and horses standing guard on both sides of the Mercury River. Due to the volatility of mercury and the moisture, the entire huge underground palace is filled with fog all year round. From a distance, the terracotta warriors hidden in the fog look like a queue of living people.
"
Seeing that Boss Xing was stunned for a moment, I continued: "A few years ago, the archaeological team used a special extended Luoyang shovel to drill through the soil sealing layer. The measured mercury content in the air exceeded the standard by more than 380 times. In fact, it was far higher.
Far from reaching the deep layers, at the Shifang Platform at the bottom, I estimate that it may exceed the standard by 30,000 times."
After listening to my description, Boss Xing said with longing eyes: "I really hope I can go down and take a look one day."
I shook my head: "It's useless even if you wear a gas mask at that level. You can't survive for three minutes. If you go down without a gas mask, you will faint in two seconds and die in five seconds. And there is no need to deal with it after death. The body will not rot for a thousand years. It turns out that
The earth will go to bliss."
"Then how did your uncle go down? And how did he come out alive? Did he take out anything? I can buy it at a high price."
"I don't know about this, so I have no comment. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now. Please remember to promise me, Boss Xing. We'll see you later."
"I have a car in my backyard that you can use. Xiao Xiang, please try to live as long as you can."
