Spain is now a country, but in ancient Roman times, this country that was extremely miserable in this World Cup was just a province of the ancient Roman Empire.【】
The Spanish province in ancient times gave birth to the first orator, philosopher and tragedian in ancient Rome. His name was Senaga.
Senaga was very awesome at the time, but after more than 2,000 years, human civilization has been as brilliant as the stars. He has indeed been beaten to death on the beach by countless surging waves, so not many people know him now.
But in China in the 1980s, in the fourth-tier city of Hongqi City, there was one person who strongly agreed with Senaga's views.
"Courage leads to heaven, cowardice leads to hell." This is a sentence from Senaga. When Yao Xiaodi accidentally told this sentence to Shen Tianlong, Shen Tianlong was immediately struck by the meaning of this sentence. Moved.
Shen Tianlong is an iron-blooded soldier, and what he lacks most is courage, so when he heard these words, he immediately made Seneca his confidant.
"Xiao Di, what this person said is very cool. Does he have any works? Can I know more about him?" Shen Tianlong said
In terms of knowledge and culture, Shen Tianlong has an almost superstitious admiration for Yao Xiaodi. Senaga was born in 4 AD, which is more than 1,800 years older than Yao Xiaodi. However, Shen Tianlong firmly believes that Yao Xiaodi You can definitely know about this ancient sage.
As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to Mo are black. With Yao Xiaodi, a well-educated and knowledgeable girlfriend, Shen Tianlong is simply hungry for knowledge.
However, after Shen Tianlong read through Senaga's works, he had a deeper understanding of Senaga's overall thoughts.
At one time, Shen Tianlong thought that it was courage to dare to shed blood and sacrifice, to protect the country without fear of death, and to fight against the enemy; but after reading through Senaga, Shen Tianlong realized that perseverance and determination of one's own goals would be unswerving. That kind of attitude is also a kind of courage.
It is precisely because of Shen Tianlong's change in thinking that when everyone thinks Shang Wenquan is stupid, Shen Tianlong can understand him. So when Gao Xinbing plays tricks to capture Xie Miao's heart, Shen Tianlong can also understand he.
In Shen Tianlong's view, no matter what the motivation is, perseverance for a goal is something worthy of admiration.
Therefore, even though Gao Xinbing's plan to save the beauty was a bit shabby, Shen Tianlong was in favor of it.
"Your previous plan is pretty good, but your later plan is not working at all." Shen Tianlong said to Gao Xinbing
Before implementing the hero's plan to save the United States, Shen Tianlong questioned Gao Xinbing in the cheap tavern.
"Why not? Although you are quite capable of fighting, I will attack you from behind with a brick. What a great plan."
Gao Xinbing's plan was for Shen Tianlong to defeat Cambrian, and then he would attack Shen Tianlong from behind with bricks. When Gao Xinbing heard Shen Tianlong question his plan, Gao Xinbing's eyes widened.
Although Gao Xinbing does not hang out in the martial arts world, the folk customs in the Northeast are fierce. "No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you will be knocked down with one brick" is a jingle that has been circulated throughout the Northeast for a long time. How could Gao Xinbing not understand it?
Gao Xinbing was quite dissatisfied with Shen Tianlong's objection to his sneak attack with bricks.
When Shen Tianlong heard that Gao Xinbing was not convinced by his statement, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he took a sip of wine and smiled, with an extremely pretentious smile on his face.
"I have a friend who can't lift his shoulders or lift his arms. If a fight really breaks out, I think a good old woman can scratch his face all over. But now in our Hongqi City, all the awesome bastards When you meet him, you have to say hello to him, and you even have to offer him a cigarette. Do you think this person is awesome?"
Shen Tianlong looked leisurely in the direction of Hongqi City, and at this moment he thought of Shang Wenquan again.
"Is there such a person?" Even though Gao Xinbing was very angry that Shen Tianlong disagreed with his opinion, Shen Tianlong's words did arouse Gao Xinbing's curiosity.
Hearing that Gao Xinbing was curious about Shang Wenquan, Shen Tianlong took another sip of wine and then patiently told Gao Xinbing the miserable yet glorious experiences of Shang Wenquan.
After Shen Tianlong patiently told Gao Xinbing the story of Shang Wenquan, Gao Xinbing also admired Shang Wenquan very much, but despite his admiration, he did not fully understand the purpose of Shen Tianlong telling him this story.
"Tianlong, what we are discussing now is how to help me catch Xie Miao. Does what you are talking about have anything to do with my pursuit of Xie Miao?"
"Yes, not only is it relevant, but it is also closely related." Shen Tianlong said
"What's the relationship?" It's a matter of his life, Gao Xinbing's mood is extremely urgent.
Seeing Gao Xinbing's anxious look on Ephedra, Shen Tianlong was not anxious at all, but patiently discussed love with Gao Xinbing.
"After I beat Xiao Wu away, you suddenly showed up and knocked me down with a brick. It's not impossible, but what you get in this way is only Xie Miao's gratitude. Gratitude is not a factor in love. Do you think my view is correct? ?”
Shen Tianlong has a profound understanding of love. Because all his thoughts are devoted to Yao Xiaodi, Shen Tianlong has now become an expert on love.
If you have ever loved someone wholeheartedly like Shen Tianlong, then you can also understand the meaning of this sentence. It just so happens that Gao Xinbing is such a person. In his psychology, his love for Xie Miao, Definitely no less serious than Shen Tianlong and Yao Xiaodi.
"Yes, yes, yes" After Shen Tianlong finished speaking, Gao Xinbing immediately nodded in agreement.
"If you want to capture a woman's heart, you don't want her to thank you, nor do you want her to be grateful to you, but you want her to respect you and look up to you!"
"Gratitude cannot buy love, but when you are looked up to by a woman, you will receive love easily." Shen Tianlong held a glass of wine and talked with as much pretentiousness as possible.
But strangely, the smart and cunning Gao Xinbing was completely conquered by Shen Tianlong's theory.
"Then tell me, how can Xie Miao look up to me?" This is what Gao Xinbing is most worried about now.
"The male dominates the yang and the female dominates the yin. One yin and one yang constitute everything in this world. If you want Xie Miao to look up to you, then you must show your masculinity in front of Xie Miao." Shen Tianlong continued to show off.
"Fuck, knocking you down with a brick is not masculine enough? How about I stab you with a knife?" Gao Xinbing asked with a pale face.
"Haha, do you think you are masculine just because you knocked me down or stabbed me?"
"Wrong, your idea is absolutely wrong!" Shen Tianlong's words were resounding and decisive.
"Fuck, what are you going to say about that?" Gao Xinbing was almost amused by Shen Tianlong.
Seeing that Gao Xinbing was extremely anxious, Shen Tianlong slowly said: "Get beaten! Only by being beaten can you gain Xie Miao's peace of mind."
"You also need to be scientific and realistic when picking up girls. I'm much bigger than you. If I'm going to be beaten away by you, can Xie Miao not be suspicious?"
"So you have to be beaten, over and over again. I knock you down, and you get up again, get knocked down again, and get up again. As the saying goes, a veteran will slowly wither, but he must not be knocked down. You You couldn't beat me, but you relied on your perseverance to defeat me mentally. Only in this way can you show your courage to the extreme."
"Xie Miao does not love power, nor does she love money. This fully proves that she is an idealist, and what idealists pay most attention to is the spiritual level. As long as you conquer Xie Miao mentally, you are not afraid of conquering her physically. Can’t touch her!”
Although Shen Tianlong has never conquered any woman physically so far, this does not prevent him from telling others the truth. After hearing the truthful truth, Gao Xinbing nodded repeatedly.
That's how the scene in the dark alley happened. Even though Gao Xinbing was beaten to a bloody head by Shen Tianlong, he remained strong and strong.
…
Three days later, in a shabby tavern at Fucheng Railway Station
A tall man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes and two men with bruised noses and faces were sitting in a tavern drinking.
The handsome man was of course Shen Tianlong, and the two men were the Cambrian and Gao Xin soldiers who were beaten violently by Shen Tianlong that night.
"Tianlong, you are so good at this move, I admire you so much now." Gao Xinbing held the wine glass and looked at Shen Tianlong in admiration.
"Guess what Xie Miao said to me? Xie Miao said that I have a good temperament. She said that she has never seen a man with such a good temperament as me! She said that if I were born during the Anti-Japanese War, I would definitely rather die than betray my comrades. The kind of hero who doesn’t care about death!”
Holding the wine glass, Gao Xinbing's face was already filled with joy.
Yes, just by relying on that indomitable spirit and that attitude of refusing to admit defeat even to death, Gao Xinbing actually captured Xie Miao's heart.
"Come on, Xiao Wu, Tianlong, let me toast you two. If I, Gao Xinbing, can marry Xie Miao, you two will be my matchmakers. Without further ado, I will condescend and make you two friends." Gao Xinbing picked up his wine glass and said shamelessly
Naturally, the result was another burst of ridicule from Shen Tianlong and Cambrian. A few people just had a drink, and then put Shen Tianlong on the train from Fucheng to Hongqi City.
Although Fucheng is only a short distance of more than 200 kilometers from Hongqi City, the transportation in the 1980s was extremely underdeveloped. The green train stopped at the station. For the short distance from Fucheng to Hongqi City, the train actually took eight times. More than hours.
It was already dark when we got in the car. Thanks to Cambrian's relationship with Gao Xinbing, Shen Tianlong was able to get into a sleeper berth.
The train rumbled rhythmically, but Shen Tianlong, who was lying on the bunk, was not in a calm mood.
After Li Guodong and others left, Shen Tianlong stayed in Fucheng for three days because of Gao Xinbing's incident. Although he had a lot of fun during these three days, when he was free, he was always curious about one thing.
What Shen Tianlong is curious about is that the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Yao Zhijiang used thunderous means to win the transportation convoy of the Red Square Mining Bureau. But in the final official game, how far will Yao Zhijiang extend his victory!
Of course, things did not develop that fast. When Shen Tianlong returned to Hongqi City, Gao Peng was still the director of the Mining Bureau, Li Guodong was still the president of the court, and Lu Yan was still quite comfortable in his position as director of the Public Security Bureau. All of them. Everything looked exactly the same as before Shen Tianlong left, as if the incident of going to Fucheng and capturing the Red Square Mining Bureau's convoy had never happened.
Of course, these things are just appearances. There are often turbulent undercurrents under the calm lake, and there are often hidden murderous intentions in the quiet manors. The officialdom of Hongqi City is now full of undercurrents, and is far from as calm as it seems on the surface.
Starting from Director Lu Yan of the Public Security Bureau and Director Gao Peng of the Red Square Mining Bureau, a total of more than 20 people were invited by the Hongqi City Discipline Inspection Commission to talk in just ten days. And Yao Zhijiang seemed unwilling to deal with the problem only at this level. , at a team meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, Yao Zhijiang once hinted that some people should abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side instead of remaining stubborn.
Taking advantage of the Gao Peng corruption incident, Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yao Zhijiang launched a powerful attack on Mayor Lu Zhendong.
The officialdom of Hongqi City was in a commotion because of the Hongqian Mining Bureau incident, but few people could really understand the inside story of this matter. Although Shen Tianlong went to the front line to capture Gao Peng's minions, what happened in the officialdom of Hongqi City subsequently However, Shen Tianlong cannot participate in these matters at his level.
Even though Shen Tianlong was anxious, he didn't know what was going to happen next. So he still had to go to work, and he still had to do his job.
But as soon as Shen Tianlong went to work that day, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Today is Monday. According to the usual practice, today should be the day when all departments of the Public Security Bureau report their work together. But this morning, each department received a notice that it was a meeting. Temporary cancellation.
The Director of the Public Security Bureau, Lu Yan, the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau, Chao Chao, and the Captain of the Criminal Police Team, Liu Xiangrong, stayed in Lu Yan's office all morning.
All Wang Chao and Liu Xiangrong's cronies were coming in and out, and they all seemed extremely busy. However, when others asked what happened, these people looked solemn and remained silent.
After four or five years in the police force, Shen Tianlong's senses have become very sharp. This strange atmosphere made him feel depressed. But when Shen Tianlong wanted to inquire about some news, he was told that something big had indeed happened. Now the director and deputy director , the captain of the criminal police team is studying how to handle the matter, but others cannot participate in this matter.
Near noon, Lu Yan and the other three finally walked out of the director's office, but as soon as they came out, Lu Yan issued an order that stunned Shen Tianlong.
"All members of the criminal police team listened to the order. Captain Liu Xiangrong of the criminal police team was the commander, and deputy captain Shen Tianlong was the deputy commander. They rushed to the Veterans Hall Hotel in Hongqi City to arrest the important criminal suspect Tian Haishan."
"Everyone must succeed immediately and arrest this heinous criminal!"
Tian Haishan is Shanzi, and he only arrests criminal suspects, but Lu Yan directly defines Shanzi as a criminal, which surprises Shen Tianlong.【】
