In less than ten minutes, when the sky was darkening and the lanterns were starting to turn on, the person "Xiao Leizi" ordered to report the news hurried back. After whispering a few words, "Xiao Leizi" looked as cautious as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
He completely disappeared, and then he actually hugged Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan across the road, said good luck, and then withdrew with his men.
Seeing this scene, those "players" who were watching from the side knew that "Old Ghost" meant "staying out of the matter and staying out of the river."
But most people are not as big as the "old ghost". For the sake of face, they have to come over one by one to chat with Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan. At this time, what determines their attitude is not only the distance between them and whether they have old grudges, but also the distance between them and whether they have old grudges.
That is the involvement of interests and their own scheming.
"Ciermei", relying on her familiarity and the backing of the "little landowner", was determined to steal the limelight in front of everyone and was the first to cross the road to show off.
"You two, are you going to stir up trouble again? You are really a real person."
"'Ci'ermei', you'll get used to it, don't talk about my hometown." Hong Yanwu rolled his eyes and stabbed in the cold. This woman is essentially a la (a slang term for a prostitute), and he can't do it.
Give face.
Of course, "Ciermei" is an experienced communicator. When she realizes that she has violated a taboo, she will immediately use her words to talk back. "Oh, look at my mouth. My brothers don't want to hear it again. Come on, come in with me. I'll give it to you."
Pour some wine to make amends."
Hong Yanwu didn't think much of it, so he joked and said, "Goodbye, there is Ecstasy in your wine. I'm going to drink it. If the wine is not intoxicating, everyone will get drunk. We should play 'Cross Slope'"
Already."
Now "Cier Mei" was happy, because she had achieved her goal and attracted a lot of attention, she was no longer bored, but took out "two" (slang, Zhang means ten) big tickets, and stuffed them happily
After entering Hong Yanwu's pocket, he said "see you later" and led a few people into the "Shengli Snack Bar".
This is also the rule in the circle of "player masters". Whenever someone "sets up a stick", those who are willing to support him will automatically come over to you, either affectionately or humbly, and put a handful into your pocket. No judgment is made on whether it is more or less.
You can decide what to do by yourself, and it will be considered a kind of dignity for both parties to show that they have extensive acquaintances.
Following closely was Foye "Ma Laosi". Since his eldest brother Niujie "Baoqiang" also liked wrestling, and his master was "Juan Diyun" Duolun, they were able to establish some friendship with Chen Liquan and mutually exchanged ideas.
We have always been close to each other and have nothing to do. Now it is natural for us to express our feelings.
"Master Hong, Master Chen, are you two going to open a mountain cabinet again? Congratulations."
"It's Ma Laosi. I've just come back. As soon as I entered the city, I felt dizzy and turned around. Please give Baoqiang and Ghazi a message. I will need to take more care of you from now on."
"We have nothing to say, just let us know if you have anything to say."
"Thanks in advance, that's it, you go about your business."
In this way, after the polite conversation with each other, Ma Laosi also took out "two" and stuffed them into Chen Liquan's pocket. Then he led a few of his men to the "Huiquan Bath" east of the snack bar.
"Baofu" actually always stayed on the south side of the road. It was most convenient for him to walk to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
However, because he followed his eldest brother "Big Old Fart" and had a fight with Hong Yanwu's gang in the past, he was severely punished by Hong Yanwu. It can be regarded as an old grudge, and he still has knots in his heart.
So after smoking three cigarettes in a row, he led the people over. When the two sides met, even their words were twisted.
"'Red Boy' and 'Training Circle' have just come back, right? Be careful because the wind is strong, you won't be able to fly and hit the south wall again!"
"'Baofu', if you still want to get angry, please feel free to speak."
"Old Emperor, everyone has made progress. I will definitely be 'almost' with you again one day."
“Always waiting.”
Originally this was the end of the story, but there is always a shortage of people who are crazy among gangsters.
"Baofu" had a hot-tempered guy who didn't know Hong Yanwu, so he jumped out from behind and yelled, "What the hell are you doing? You've broken it, believe it or not!"
But this kid didn't expect that he had just bared his teeth when he was held down by "Baofu".
"Why did this stupid thing leak out to you? You took the wrong medicine, get out of here."
"Brother?"
A slap directly on the face. "You have the right to speak. If you want to be the first to challenge me, read my story first."
Only then did the boy realize that he had committed a "taboo", so he no longer dared to say anything and returned to the team honestly.
Immediately afterwards, "Baofu" knew that he was in the wrong, so he also took out a "Great Unity" and stuffed it into Hong Yanwu's pocket.
"What a joke, I just took in this silly boy and I haven't trained him well yet."
Seeing this, Hong Yanwu also clasped his fists and praised. "Okay, man, be careful."
It is not a strange thing to have such a result, because face is more important than anything else to Wan Nao.
Although "Baofu" is an enemy, he also pays attention to etiquette. Then Hong Yanwu learned about this favor. He never expected that the relationship between the two would tend to ease after the subordinates made such a fuss, so they parted ways.
That's a story for another day.
However, there are those who understand etiquette, and there are those who don't give face.
Originally, the "Daminzi" of Tianning Temple, Hong Yanwu, and Chen Liquan were relatively familiar faces, and because they were far apart, there were no conflicts. Logically speaking, they should at least come over to have a scene and exchange a few words with them.
But this kid only looked at it from a distance for a few times, then turned around and walked west, as if he had returned to his hometown.
For this reason, Chen Liquan couldn't help but feel very strange, thinking that the "big people" had fallen into trouble. But Hong Yanwu didn't see it that way. He concluded at a glance that there was something going on, and maybe this would be the beginning of a real conflict of interest.
Hong Yanwu's idea is actually not difficult to prove. Within two hours, as more "princes" from all walks of life arrived one after another, it was natural that there would be people with ulterior motives providing them with information.
Sure enough, they quickly learned through people's mouth that the "Daminzi" and "Vise" of Tianning Temple had joined forces and had indeed become their new enemies. Because this group of people happened to be related to "Gongzi"
", "Eight Cross" is similar to the emerging forces that now occupy the other half of Route 40.
So far, with various forms of intrigue, hostility, instigation, selling, and wooing, the drama has been staged on the streets of Caishikou. Even though Hong Yanwu has many enemies and few friends, under various superficially polite promises,
He and Chen Liquan also had more than 200 wedding coins stuffed into their pockets.
But other than that, they had nothing to gain. It can even be said that their "cannon" was a bit "dumb" when they released it today.
Because according to the rules, when a certain party's "leader" "breaks" into the situation, if there is no new "leader" to carry the banner, the members of this small group will look for new backers after the tree falls and the hozens disperse.
Have a meal.
But once this "master" returns to society, if he intends to "reopen the door of the mountain", his former subordinates can also choose to return to work under him.
And this situation is different from the usual "robbing the Buddha" with a knife. Since the Jianghu advocates "loyalty", neither the new owner nor the old owner has the right to force them. They have to rely on their subordinates to choose freely. Otherwise, it will not be "the situation". Not only will
Ruining your "reputation" and causing your subordinates to become disloyal will also arouse "public outrage" from other forces.
As for whether the two "big men" involved will be angry and vengeful because of this, and settle accounts later, it depends on their respective abilities in the future, but at least at that time, they could not "sacrifice small profits at the expense of great justice."
Speaking of which, Hong Yanwu actually had more than 30 people under his command in the past, and today there were less than half of them. But I don't know if it's because these people have been completely conquered by the new master, or because Hong Yanwu was too domineering in the past and treated them poorly.
Although these former subordinates also presented wedding money and came forward to see the gifts one by one, the only masters who were really willing to leave their new patrons and return to their old gates were the "Buddha", "little wife" and "war criminals"
"Jar" two people.
For this reason, even Hong Yanwu, who was as shameless as a city wall, felt a little embarrassed, so he told Chen Liquan in a self-deprecating tone.
"Quanzi, you see, this is what the world is like. What cronies and subordinates are all bullshit. You are powerful and will follow you around. Once you get down, no one will follow you to share the hardships. You will never be able to do anything in the future.
Don’t be gullible, don’t trust anyone!”
But Chen Liquan didn't see it that way. Instead, he smiled and said to Hong Yanwu, "What you said is too absolute. It is difficult for people to work together in difficult times. But don't you still have me?"
"
Hong Yanwu smiled softly, "Our relationship is a special case, no better than ordinary people."
"What about 'little wife' and 'jar'?"
After hearing this, Hong Yanwu couldn't help but glance behind him.
The "little wife" and "jar" looked obviously embarrassed at this time.
Only then did Hong Yanwu realize that he had accidentally "killed a boatload of people with one stroke." Out of guilt, he smiled and patted the "little wife" and "jar" on the shoulders, and took the initiative to send each of them a message.
Lit a cigarette.
But in the end, he said to Chen Liquan sincerely, "Quanzi, people like you are really rare!"
Everyone has two sides, especially those in the world.
Don't look at the princes from all walks of life. In front of Hong Yanwu, there are five people and six people. They compete with each other for "situation" and "pay attention". But in fact, "treat people as human beings and betray others as ghosts" is the most important thing.
The true temperament of most people.
So as soon as we entered the restaurant and downed a few liters of beer and a few bottles of Laobai, the true nature of this group of people was fully exposed. There were quite a few people who were actively gossiping about this matter behind their backs.
.
Most of them are those who are weak in strength and try to sweep away the trouble on their own.
"Brother Pao, it's too easy to 'set up a stick', isn't it? Just poke it there, everyone will give you some face, and also put a bag of money, which will at least cover our two months' harvest..."
"Are you envious? That's useless! If you want to go, you don't have any money, and your head will be poured with shit and urine. You're not a bad person at all."
"Yes, of course I know how much I weigh. But Brother Pao, your share is quite big. How about you?"
"Fuck you uncle, why do you think I have a long life? You think this is a good thing? You know what? Look, the world is about to be in chaos, and we can't afford to offend any gods. You all listen up, this is
I have learned a lot for a few days, but when something happens, I pretend to be a fool and act like a grandson. If anyone jumps out and acts like a fool, don't blame me for being a dirty trick."
"I understand you."
There are also those who gloat and simply wait to see the joke.
"Brother, isn't 'Red Boy' a 'Grand Slam'? Why is it back now?"
"Don't waste your fucking words. If you ask me, I will ask who to go to! Is it okay if the Public Security Bureau is his brother-in-law?"
"Brother, it's nothing else. I'm just saying that you've been in the circle for too short a time. You'll definitely be very angry when you come back. With that bad temper, if you really want to inflame it again, who can stop you? What if you miss us...
"
"It's not for the time being. I haven't seen him. Aren't a few of his "old men" from the past coming back? Let me tell you, there has to be someone first to do something, and nothing can be done without anyone. Even if he and 'Chen Da Bangchui'
No matter how awesome you are, two people can take back the bus line, but someone still has to "catch the points" and "deliver the goods". This is called unjust and helpless! Just wait and see the joke, there will be another day tomorrow, take care of it
These numbers are guaranteed to be a disaster. What’s more, such a big movement may attract bombs..."
There are also those who are afraid of causing chaos in the world and stir up trouble behind their backs.
"Old man, you're frustrated when you see your enemies standing up for you, and you have to pretend to be a good grandson and stuff money into your hands, aren't you?"
"Pretend to be big, you piece of shit wants to harm me again!"
"Why do you say that? I think with your strength, if you fight in tandem, you don't have to save face for Xiaoya."
"Hey, pull me down. People are cowardly but weak. A good man is not as brave as before. Besides, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. I am standing on the cusp of the storm. I have to follow the waves and beat them."
"Ginger is still old and spicy. In fact, if you really want to do something, it will definitely be in line with the people's wishes. Little things really have no chance."
"'Golden Butt', if you try to make mistakes for me again, don't blame me for falling out. Isn't it just because you let 'Red Boy' beat him out of the bathhouse that you want to kill someone with a borrowed knife? Pretend I don't know."
"Hush - stop it, no one knows this nickname, this scandal... it's better to keep it a little hidden."
"You have already seen the light of day, are you still deceiving yourself?"
"Look what you said, don't we, a bunch of people, all want face? No one wants to lose status."
"You're damn sure, you have to save face and suffer the consequences! I advise you, if you really can't forget this revenge, report the news to 'Bashi' and 'Gongzi' as soon as possible tonight."
"Exactly, old Pao'er, can you tell me the right way? You're just waiting for the mantis to catch the cicada!"
"Fuck, don't pretend to be a grandson. I'm definitely not the only one who thinks like this now. Don't look at it just now. It was all iron-clad, talking about brothers, and rushing to stuff money into people's pockets. Bullshit, in fact
I don’t know how many people want to bite the Red Boy to death, all planning to suffer less and take advantage. Do you dare to say that you don’t think so?”...
Another hour passed, and just when the discussion in the restaurant was at its most lively and lively, the sky outside had turned completely dark and the number of passers-by was gradually sparse, so Hong Yanwu quickly left with his people.
However, although he didn't know anything about what happened in the restaurant, on this night, through word of mouth among these stinky eaters, the news about him had spread to every corner of the two districts in Nancheng.
The "Red Boy" on Zixin Road has reopened its gates!
