"Come, drink tea. The taste of this cup is different from the one just now."!
Bai Zhentian smiled and said: "Qin Feng, do you know that although your master had the title of "Death-seeking Yama" in the world back then, the people who died at the hands of his old man had a way to die, and they were not indiscriminate killings.
innocent……"
"Of course I know about the master, but I don't know what the connection is between you, Mr. Bai, and my master?"
In fact, when Zai was alive, Qin Feng did not mention anything about the time when he dominated the world. Qin Feng heard about his master's name and his deeds from Miao Liuzhi.
Qin Feng basically knew nothing about his master's enemies and friends in his early years, except for the senior brother in his sect who plotted against his master.
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Bai Zhentian didn't beat around the bush anymore and said, "Qin Feng, have you heard of the name Bai Yunbo?"
"No." Qin Feng replied honestly. He didn't know anyone named Bai.
"Your master never mentioned it to you?"
Bai Zhentian was stunned and said: "Bai Yunbo is my father. Your master saved my father's life back then, and he still remembers him..."
"Huh? Uncle Bai, the old man is still alive?" Qin Feng had no reaction to Bai Zhentian's words, but it shocked Liu Zimo on the side.
Liu Zimo knew that Bai Yunbo and his grandfather were both disciples of the sharpshooter Li Shuwen, and Bai Yunbo was several years older than his grandfather. If he was not dead yet, he would probably be in his nineties.
And according to what he knew, Bai Yunbo passed away as early as the mid-1980s. When his grandfather heard the news, he sighed that another brother had passed away.
"You are one of our own, I'm not afraid to let you know."
Bai Zhentian glanced at Liu Zimo and said, "That's right, your Grandpa Bai is still alive and living in San Francisco. He has already withdrawn from the world and no longer cares about the world."
"Uncle Bai, what's going on?"
Liu Zimo said with some dissatisfaction: "When my grandfather heard about Grandpa Bai's death, he was very sad, but... why did you hide it from us?"
"It's a long story." Bai Zhentian sighed and said, "Zimo, do you know about the Jiangnan case that happened in Taiwan back then?"
"The Jiangnan case? I know, what does this have to do with Grandpa Bai?" As a person born in Taiwan, Liu Zimo naturally knew what the Jiangnan case was about.
The Jiangnan case occurred on October 5, 1984. Liu Yiliang (pen name "Jiangnan"), a Chinese-American writer with a complex background, was assassinated in the United States by a Taiwanese gangster hired by the Taiwan Intelligence Agency.
After this incident was exposed, it immediately caused an uproar, because he not only involved Taiwan's gang bosses, but also involved the top leaders of Taiwan's Chiang Kai-shek family.
For this reason, the United States has exerted great pressure on Taiwan Island, causing the Taiwan Island authorities to completely clean up the island's intelligence system, countless big bosses were imprisoned, and many politicians were implicated.
It's just that nearly twenty years have passed, and the Jiangnan case has long been forgotten. Liu Zimo wonders why Bai Zhentian brought up this big sensational case again?
"The place where Jiang Nan was assassinated was in San Francisco. At that time, when the Bamboo Union Gang came to San Francisco, the first person they came into contact with was your Grandpa Bai..."
Bai Zhentian's voice was a little low when he talked about what happened back then, but he was telling a story about the past that the world still doesn't know.
It turns out that Bai Zhentian's father, Bai Yunbo, is a Hongmen boss.
After Bai Yunbo smuggled himself to the United States in the 1960s, he quickly occupied a place in Hongmen. This is why Bai Zhentian led the Daquan Gang to join Hongmen and was immediately reused.
However, after his younger son showed his prominence in the gang, Bai Yunbo quickly faded out of the gang. Many young people did not even know that the old man who planted vegetables and watered the flowers every day could once stomp his feet to make Hongmen shocked.
Shocked Hongmen boss.
But in the early 1980s, something interrupted Bai Yunbo's peaceful life. Bai Yunbo, who was already in his seventies, received a call from a veteran of the Kuomintang Party in Taiwan.
Before liberation, Bai Yunbo had a close friendship with this Kuomintang veteran. When he smuggled himself to the United States in the early days, he found Hongmen thanks to some of his connections.
So when the elder asked him to help a few young people from Taiwan, Bai Yunbo agreed without much thought. Those people from the Bamboo Union Gang could quickly grasp the whereabouts of Jiangnan, and basically all of them were Bai Yunbo.
of credit.
But Bai Yunbo did not expect that when Jiang Nan died, there would be such a big turmoil in the United States and Taiwan, and even Mr. Jiang in Taiwan could not stay out of it.
Fortunately, the veteran who was in contact with Bai Yunbo at the time was of high authority, so the incident did not affect him, nor did Bai Yunbo. However, he received a warning from the Taiwan authorities to keep silent.
Bai Yunbo, who was already over seventy years old, had long been unwilling to care about the affairs of the world, so he simply asked his children and grandchildren to buy a coffin, announced that he had died of illness, and held a lively funeral.
Since then, Bai Yunbo has lived in seclusion in a manor on the outskirts of San Francisco. Even many elderly people in Hongmen do not know that their old friend is actually still alive.
"Politics is disgusting."
After hearing this secret told by Bai Zhentian, Liu Zimo shook his head and said: "My grandfather left Taiwan and returned to his hometown to live. In fact, he wanted to avoid the political storm..."
Because of his strong martial arts skills, Mr. Liu once served as the chief of Jiang Gong's bodyguard. However, after Jiang Gong's death, he did not want to continue to assist Xiao Jiang, so he returned to China to live permanently after the mainland relaxed the family visit policy.!
"Grandpa Bai's break was really thorough, even those old friends were hidden." Liu Zimo couldn't help but muttered when he thought of his grandfather missing his senior brother.
"What do you know, kid? Your Grandpa Bai has no choice but to do this..."
After hearing Liu Zimo's words, Bai Zhentian couldn't help but glare at him. Mr. Liu was still on Taiwan Island at that time. How could the Bai family dare to leak the slightest news?
"Uncle Bai, what kind of relationship does Grandpa Bai have with my master?" Seeing that Liu Zimo still wanted to speak, Qin Feng raised his hand to interrupt him.
"It's a long story. The scar on your master's ear was left to save my father."
The old man of the Bai family is a master with a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. He has been a strong man throughout his life and rarely receives favors from others. Therefore, he has a deep memory of his relationship with Zai back then and often mentions it in front of his son.
Different from the many other children of the Liu family, Bai Yunbo had always been alone in his early years. After his master passed away, he traveled around the world, looking for boxers to compete and learn from each other.
However, after the Japanese invaded China, all life in China was devastated. As long as there were people with a little blood in the rivers and lakes, they all stepped forward. No matter which party they belonged to, they all showed their patriotism and fought on the battlefield to kill the enemy and defend the country.
In the 1920s and 1930s, because of his master, Bai Yunbo had some interactions with some elders of the Kuomintang. When the national crisis hit, he also joined the team to fight against Japanese pirates.
Due to his strong martial arts skills, Bai Yunbo served as the leader of a secret organization of the Kuomintang, which was the earliest Anti-Japanese Association. At that time, the Anti-Japanese Association and the Military Tong Zhongtong were not a system, but a faction of their own.
The people who can be selected into the rape-eating club are all well-known figures in the world at that time, and all of them have unique skills that are unknown.
With this gang of gangsters, Bai Yunbo traveled from the three northeastern provinces with white mountains and black waters to the picturesque water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. The spies would frighten the traitors and arouse the vigilance of the Japanese.
After he shot the traitor Wang Jingwei several times and assassinated him, Bai Yunbo's anti-traitor group was targeted by the Japanese intelligence organization and surrounded them in a small village on the outskirts of the city.
A large group of Japanese troops were dispatched to nibble and cleanse the village. Although there were only a dozen people in the anti-rape group, although they were well-armed, they failed to break out after several attacks. Instead, they lost the lives of four or five brothers.
Just when Bai Yunbo and others were about to be made dumplings by the Japanese, there was a sudden commotion outside the Japanese army. A car loaded with ammunition exploded, and at the same time a hail of bullets swept towards the Japanese troops outside.
The Japanese, who were completely unprepared, were blindsided at that moment. Bai Yunbo and others took the opportunity to tear apart the encirclement and reunited with those who were sniping at the Japanese troops from the outside.
But what shocked Bai Yunbo and others was that there was only one person who came to rescue them, Qin Feng's master Zai.
In order to cause a disturbance among the Japanese troops, Zai detonated a Japanese ammunition truck.
Although he hid quickly, the earlobe of his left ear was removed by a shrapnel. He was bleeding profusely and was also shot in the shoulder. He could only retreat to the rear with Bai Yunbo and others to recuperate.
During the time when he was recovering from his injuries, Bai Yunbo also learned that Zai was the person known as "Yam Luo" in the world of martial arts. Both of them were from the world of martial arts, and they soon became sworn friends.
After Zai recovered from his injuries, Bai Yunbo invited him to join the anti-rape society. However, Zai had not yet given up on the idea of unifying the eight foreign sects, so he politely refused, and was still sniping and killing the Japanese alone.
Not long after that incident, due to the infiltration of the Anti-Japanese Association by the Kuomintang's internal military and central commanders, Bai Yunbo felt bored and eventually left the Anti-Japanese Association and continued to travel around the world, but he never encountered Overload again.
After that, Bai Yunbo married a wife and had a son, and gave birth to Bai Zhentian. From then on, he withdrew from the world and lived in seclusion in a rural area, passing on his skills to his son.
In the mid-1960s, after the movement swept across the country, it was revealed that Bai Yunbo had joined the Kuomintang. The reason was that he drank too much and somehow let it slip.
Bai Yunbo's behavior at that time, under the circumstances at that time, was definitely fatal. In desperation, Bai Yunbo, who was already in his fifties, could only leave his wife and children and smuggled to the United States with a few old brothers.
Bai Zhentian's luck is not much better than that of his father. After his father smuggled abroad, his mother took him away from his hometown and went to another place to live under a different name.
In the early 1970s, when the United States and Vietnam were at war, Bai Zhentian joined the army with his current status and participated in the war in the name of supporting Vietnam, and made many military exploits.
However, when the army was about to put him through political review, something went wrong. His father's affairs were investigated, and Bai Zhentian, who failed the political review, was even imprisoned.
How could Bai Zhentian, who was arrogant and arrogant, be able to bear such a tone? He escaped from the solitary room one night and broke into the jungle on the border with a gun and a few bullets.
After staying on the battlefield in Vietnam for more than a year, Bai Zhentian smuggled to Hong Kong Island with Vietnamese refugees, and during this period he met seven or eight domestic comrades who had left the army for various reasons.
Liu Zimo knew what happened next. After coming to Hong Kong and Macau, Bai Zhentian naturally joined the big circle gang. The local gangs who had once fought in Hong Kong and Macao collectively lost their voices.
However, after all, Hong Kong and Macao were too close to the mainland. In the end, the big circle gang moved to Europe and the United States, and soon established a foothold in Canada, and controlled more than 90% of the local drug business.
These people were born in sorrow and died in happiness. As soon as they gained a firm foothold, disagreements arose within the gang, which eventually led to Bai Zhentian leading a group of warriors to leave Canada and join his father in Hongmen.
After telling these past events, Bai Zhentian looked at Qin Feng and said, "Brother Qin, if my father knew that you were Mr. Xia's disciple, I don't know how happy he would be."
"It's a pity that the master has passed away, otherwise, he would also be very happy!"
Qin Feng sighed after hearing this. He knew that his master used the surname Xia when he traveled around the world in his early years. Bai Zhentian could call it out, which proved that what he said was true and that he was indeed closely related to him.
"Alas, the world is impermanent, who can survive?" Bai Zhentian also sighed. He often heard his father talk about Yama's death, and he felt regretful that he could not meet him.
"Hey, Uncle Bai, you... why did your title change?"
Bai Zhentian called him Brother Qin, which immediately made Liu Zimo unable to sit still. He wanted to call Bai Zhentian uncle, and Qin Feng and Bai Zhentian are brothers. Doesn't this mean that Qin Feng has become his uncle?
"Nonsense, Mr. Xia and my father are friends. Qin Feng is his disciple. Of course I will call him brother."
After hearing Liu Zimo's words, Bai Zhentian's face tightened and he said: "Qin Feng has not worshiped in our Baji Sect. You have to call me uncle in terms of seniority. This can't be messed up..."
The most important thing in the old life is rules. In Bai Zhentian's view, although Qin Feng has learned the essence of Baji Quan but has not become a disciple, he cannot judge seniority from their sect.
"This... this is wrong. Qin Feng calls me dad and uncle." Liu Zimo scratched his head when he heard this. He was a little confused about the relationship between him and Qin Feng.
"Brother Bai, let's talk about our own affairs."
Seeing this, Qin Feng smiled and said: "I have received a lot of favors from the Liu family since I was a child, and the old man has been very kind to me. Moreover, Zimo and I are like brothers. From now on, we will feel more comfortable as brothers."
Although he and Bai Zhentian have an older relationship, Qin Feng himself has a deeper relationship with the Liu family. He can't call Liu Jiacheng brother when he meets Liu Jiacheng, right? So he still can't follow Bai Zhentian's seniority.
"Okay..." After hearing Qin Feng's words, Bai Zhentian smiled helplessly and said: "We all do our own thing, so we won't talk about so many rules.
In the past, the relationship between people in the Jianghu was actually complicated. It was common for a son to worship someone, and then that person would worship his son's father. It was common for each person to discuss it separately.
"By the way, brother Qin, why did you come to the United States? Why did you get together with Ah Hao and the others?"
After discussing their friendship, Bai Zhentian suddenly thought of Qin Feng's identity and couldn't help but become curious. You know, it is not easy to come out of the country these days.
And although Bai Zhentian doesn't pay much attention to Chen Shihao, he is also a well-known gangster who dominates Ao Island. With Qin Feng's age and status, how can he be on an equal footing with him?
"Brother Bai, this matter is a bit complicated..." Qin Feng thought for a moment and said directly: "I came to Las Vegas this time for the title of Gambling King."
"The title of gambling king? What does this have to do with you?" Bai Zhentian became more and more confused as he listened.
"I'm here to participate in the Gambling King Competition." Qin Feng explained: "When I was on Ao Island, I owed Brother Hao a favor. I promised to help him win the title of Gambling King. I think I repaid him this favor!"
"You...you help him win the title of gambling king?"
Bai Zhentian's eyes suddenly widened and he said: "Brother Qin, do you know that in every Gambling King Competition, there are only ten gambling king titles in total? And in all the years the Gambling King Competition has been held, there has never been a Chinese gambling king.
!”
According to the rules, the top ten people in the Gambling King Competition can win the title of Gambling King.
It seems that there are a lot of ten places, but because it is located in Las Vegas, it is the home ground of foreigners, and the gambling methods are mostly blackjack or stud.
Many foreign gambling masters have already mastered these two gambling methods. In terms of gambling skills alone, they are really better than the Chinese on the whole.
In addition, Ye Han, who was the most skilled gambler among the Chinese, strictly prohibited his subordinates from participating in the Gambling King Competition. As a result, over the years, no Chinese has won the title of World Gambling King.
So after hearing Qin Feng brazenly saying that he wanted to win the title of Gambling King, Bai Zhentian's face suddenly showed a look of disbelief. People from Hongmen participate in the Gambling King Competition every year, but none of them can enter the top ten.
Seeing Bai Zhentian's wide eyes, Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh and said: "Brother Bai, did Mr. Bai never tell you that my master is good at gambling?"
"Didn't I say, brother, that your gambling skills were taught by Senior Xia?"
Bai Zhentian has never heard his father mention this matter. He only knows that Yan Luoyi, Bo Yuntian, who is seeking life, is superb in martial arts, but he doesn't know much about other things.
In front of Bai Zhentian, Qin Feng was not humble and said: "My master is the ancestor of gambling. Although I haven't learned ten or two, it shouldn't be a big problem to assist Henry Wei in getting the title of Gambling King."
of……"
"Brother Qin, are you telling the truth?"
Bai Zhentian was overjoyed when he heard this. If Qin Feng had such ability, Hongmen had always wanted to get involved in the gambling industry, but they couldn't train professionals and could only watch other gangs carve up the big cake.
Based on Qin Feng's relationship with himself and Liu Zimo, Bai Zhentian believed that as long as Qin Feng's words were true, Hongmen might be able to find an opportunity to enter the gambling industry from him.
