As the junction of the North and South districts, this is almost the most mixed area in the city.
Ten years ago, the probability of fights here was as common as daily occurrences. Countless incidents occurred every day. It was not surprising that many people died. What's more, large-scale firefights occasionally occurred here. Rao lived here. The people in the area are accustomed to it and are not surprised.
Living in this area, very few people dare to go out at night. Everyone is worried about being chopped by a blade as soon as they go out - this kind of accidental injury is not unheard of. And it happens from time to time!
Five years ago, Scorpion planted his flag in this no-nonsense area and quickly made a name for himself. He took the nearby gang of thugs as his own, and the number of fights and thefts gradually decreased.
Today, this area has been taken over by the Little Knife Society, and the security problem has steadily improved. Even though the houses are not closed at night, there are very few bloodshed incidents.
But today, nearby citizens felt a strong sense of uneasiness again.
Yes. Uneasy.
You can see sharply dressed gangsters everywhere in the streets and alleys. If you look carefully, you can clearly see the bulging outline of their waists.
Any citizen with a little bit of experience can guess that these people carry weapons with them.
If it were just like this, the citizens wouldn't be so nervous. After all, most citizens who have lived in the Blackwater District for a period of time have some psychological endurance. If they can't withstand even this little battle, I'm afraid they have already moved away from the Blackwater area and moved to an area with better security.
What made them so uneasy was not the gangsters filling the streets, but the solemn black cars.
In addition, there are also groups of black super men in suits and leather shoes.
They have cold expressions and steady steps. They are not like ordinary gangsters, but rather like super bodyguards.
The destination of this group of people is a tea restaurant. The most famous tea restaurant in Heishui District - Qingshui Building.
Speaking of Qingshui Restaurant, it is a famous tea restaurant in Heishui District. Not only because of its delicious pastries and snacks, but also because it is the most expensive tea restaurant in Heishui District. It is said that this restaurant has been in existence for five years. With a history of more than ten years and three generations of people, the pastries and various snacks are all secret recipes passed down from ancestors and cannot be eaten outside.
Regardless of whether these so-called ancestral snacks are really that delicious, at least no one can enter Qingshui Building today. No matter how rich and powerful you are, you will never step into Qingshui Building and eat a cage of crab roe buns.
There is no other reason.
Ba Ye, the most powerful overlord in the underground world of Huaxin City, drank lunch here and booked the place.
Who dares to disturb?
Who would risk their lives to anger the famous Master Ba over a pot of tea?
Of course, if Qiao Ba booked the whole place just for an afternoon tea, it would be too much. This is also not in line with Qiao Ba's consistent style in recent years.
As for the reason, others don’t know, but some bastards on the street know that: Later, the leader of the South District, Qiao Ba, will have their first meeting with the most powerful Xiaodaohui in the North District here!
Didn't you see it?
The alleys, sidewalks, and even streets near Qingshui Building were cleaned. It was necessary to make this meeting foolproof.
It can be said that with Qingshui Building as the center, there are almost no people waiting within a radius of one mile. This level of clearance. In addition to the police in Huaxin City, I am afraid that only the gangster Qiao Ba or the behind-the-scenes controller of the Xiaodao Society can have this energy, right?
If you look down from the air, you can clearly see that with Qingshui Building as the center, the gangsters spread out are in a state of strict alert. There are even many gangsters with their palms pressed on their waists, as if something is wrong.
He would take out a razor blade and chop down the hostile gangsters. Everyone's eyes showed vigilance and viciousness. The smell of gunpowder was very strong.
A group of men in suits also stared at each other with stern expressions. Although they were much calmer than the gangsters, their bodies were also tense.
This is a conversation between the strongest people in the North and South Districts. No one knows what will happen during the conversation, whether it will be a conciliatory chat, or a fight over a disagreement.
No matter what the outcome was, these little guys didn't dare to relax at all.
They clearly know that once they take action, it will be a fight to the death. If they do not make the best preparations, they may be hacked to death by their opponents in an instant!
At three o'clock in the afternoon.
The sunshine that had been lazily crawling out seemed to be tired and was hiding under the thick clouds, making this area even more gloomy and depressing.
The autumn mood was already strong, but the people on both sides were sweating all over, staring at each other nervously and nervously, not daring to relax for a moment.
Kick!
On a walkway outside the Qingshui Building, Scar walked toward the door in a slightly hurried pace. Behind him were eight men in suits, like the eight heavenly kings, surrounded by stars like the moon, with a look of indifference.
"How is the situation?" Scar, who was walking, turned his head and asked with an indifferent expression.
"Two hundred men and horses are waiting nearby. They are all top-notch warriors. They can start fighting at any time." The man in the suit said attentively.
"Yeah." Scar nodded slightly and said, "Where are the police forces nearby?"
"Because this meeting is in the Blackwater District, people from the North and South Police Districts have been sent over. But they are squatting far away. If a fight doesn't start, they won't take action. Even if a fight starts, they will wait until we are dead and the net is broken to clean up the mess." Suit.
The man said cautiously.
"Go ahead and tell them to be honest. They can't do anything without my order. We set up this battle because we don't want to weaken our momentum in front of Qiao Ba. We don't really want to fight." Scar took out a white handkerchief and wiped it.
The beads of sweat on his forehead seemed to be a bit unbearable for the battle that was going on today.
"Yes." After saying this, the man in the suit turned and left, conveying Scar's order.
Arriving at the entrance of Qingshui Building, Dao Scar suddenly stopped and took a long breath before walking in calmly.
————
In the center of the hall, Qiao Ba was making tea calmly and calmly. Behind him stood only four men who could not feel any breath. No one else was guarding him.
But no one dares to underestimate these four people. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these four people are the four great protectors of Qiao Ba, the four famous Vajras on the road. Qiao Ba does not know how many times he has been in danger, but in the end he was
The four men were escorted back safely.
It can be said that these four people are like the shadow of Qiao Ba. Wherever Qiao Ba goes, they go. They will never leave.
Southerners like to drink Kung Fu tea, and they drink it in small cups. It is not as grand as the big bowls of northerners, but it is more delicate and particular. Qiao Ba is from the north and came to Huaxin City when he was 18 years old.
, but it wasn’t until he was forty that he fell in love with Kung Fu tea. The reason was that he believed Kung Fu tea could calm the mind and nourish the mind.
When he reaches this position, fighting and killing is no longer suitable for him. What he needs to grasp is the overall situation and what he needs to control is the situation.
As for the business of an angry man bleeding thousands of miles, Qiao Ba got tired of it long before he turned forty and didn't want to play it anymore.
"call--"
When the tea cup was filled with tea, Qiao Ba picked it up, held it under his nose, took a whiff, and then took a sip.
The Chinese word for tasting is divided into three sips, one is for drinking, two is for drinking, and three is for tasting. Therefore, it takes three sips to taste a cup of tea.
Qiao Ba has been immersed in the southern tea ceremony for nearly ten years and knows the true meaning of it. He drank it all in three sips.
Putting down the tea cup, Qiao Ba inadvertently moved a Buddhist bead with his left thumb, and looked softly at the door where the footsteps came from.
But when the sound of slightly hasty footsteps reached his ears, a slight hint of brilliance flashed across Qiao Ba's face.
Deng Deng stared——
Scar suppressed his inner anxiety and stepped into the door pretending to be calm. With an indifferent smile on his face, he said, "I'm really sorry for keeping Master Ba waiting for so long."
After saying that, Scar walked towards the chair opposite Qiao Ba. He pulled the chair open very lightly and planned to sit down.
In terms of seniority, he is not as good as Qiao Bada.
In terms of status in the world, he is not as high as Qiao Bagao.
In terms of strength, he is not as good as Qiao Qiang.
But in terms of status, Qiao Ba is the leader of the South District, and Scar is the eldest brother in the North District who is most capable of becoming the leader. So he can sit in this chair!
However, before he sat down, Qiao Ba suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Scar. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he asked very calmly: "Do you want to sit down?"
"Yes. Is there any problem? Master Ba?" Scar smiled.
"I want to sit down." Qiao Ba said calmly, "Sit over there."
He pointed to a chair at the edge of the hall and said lightly.
After saying that, he ignored Scar's twisted and angry expression and continued to make tea and taste it in a gentle manner.
Scar froze in place for a long time, then moved his steps with great difficulty and walked to the chair beside him.
The first confrontation. Qiao Ba won completely.
Tick tock. Tick tock.
The time pointed to 3:30 in the afternoon, and Qiao Ba had been waiting for half an hour since Scar arrived. Counting the time, Qiao Ba had been drinking Kung Fu tea for a full hour here.
Who in Huaxin City is qualified to let him wait so patiently?
Only Brother Xiaolin!
Ding.
Ding.
Finally, a burst of gentle and steady footsteps came from the door again. The distance between each step was perfectly controlled, neither too big nor too small, with a strong sense of rhythm and rhythm. Only an extremely confident man could step on such steps.
When the footsteps sounded, Qiao Bafang looked at the door with a slightly relaxed expression. He also slowly put down the teacup in his hand.
Lin Ze is here.
He strolled into the hall leisurely, followed by a pair of very beautiful siblings. His steps were light but full of a strong sense of rhythm.
How could an ordinary man take such rhythmic steps?
Lin Ze held a cigarette in his mouth and put his hands into his jeans pockets. The green smoke curled up and covered half of his head. It smelled like green faces and fangs.
As soon as he entered, he glanced at Qiao Ba and Dao Ba with torch-like eyes. He suddenly spit out the cigarette butt from the corner of his mouth and said meaningfully: "Master Ba, are you not bothered by having to wait for an hour in vain?"
"I am the host and you are the guest. How could the host complain that the guest is late?" Qiao Ba said gracefully.
"Ba Ye, I think you are mistaken." Lin Ze walked over, pulled out the chair and sat down, picked up the tea cup and drank a swig, smashed his mouth, and looked at Qiao Badao. "In Blackwater
District, when will it be your turn to make the decision?"
