Power cut, internet cut, XXX.。。He could only go to the internet cafe to write and upload. It was very awkward.。。
The four men, plus the cute Xu Shiyin, had a meal that was not as harmonious as they had imagined. Other than Xu Shiyin occasionally mentioning a few interesting things about the school, the others all had indifferent faces and hurriedly ended the meal. Ge Heqing left uncomfortably.
Before Ge Heqing left, Xu Changpeng instructed him in his old voice to get all the information about the White Dragon Society as soon as possible. Ge Heqing patted his fat chest and nodded heavily to guarantee. Then, he left the villa with his fat body.
Elder Xu, Xiao Yin is going to school..." After the meal, Qiao Liansheng took the Zhonghua cigarettes from Xu Changpeng. She thought of Xu Shiyin's situation in school and felt that she should mention it to him.
Without waiting for Qiao Liansheng to finish, Xu Changpeng nodded with a cold face." Dou Jianfeng is tired of living. He even dares to condone his nephew's ideas about my granddaughter. He really thinks that I, Xu Changpeng, am the one who should be imprisoned!"”
"What do you plan to do?" Qiao Liansheng asked with a smile. She really wanted to see how much power Xu Changpeng had. If this matter was not resolved, she would not be able to go to school with Xu Shiyin.
"Heh, I wasn't interested in the position of the school's vice principal at all. Since Dou Jianfeng couldn't sit comfortably, I found someone to take it.”Xu Changpeng smiled indifferently.
"Where's Dou Liang?" Qiao Liansheng recalled the man he had stabbed several times and wondered if he had ended a life with his own hands.
Xu Changpeng suddenly stared at Qiao Liansheng. After a long time, he smiled meaningfully and said,"There's no such person anymore. You don't have to worry about being harassed in school.”
Qiao Liansheng was slightly taken aback, then nodded with a bitter smile. It seemed like he had really killed someone. For some reason, after killing people wantonly because Xue Lingyun was bullied, he no longer felt uneasy.
"Lian Sheng, I heard that you recruited Xiao Yeqing from Ox Ghost Street. Is that true?”Xu Changpeng took a deep puff of the cigarette and slowly exhaled, revealing an appreciative smile.
Qiao Liansheng nodded. From his point of view, this was a win-win contract with Xiao Yeqing. He wanted to take back what belonged to Qiao Xianjing, while Xiao Yeqing wanted an exciting life. At the same time, it was also based on the group of people who followed him getting a better home. Coincidentally, their pursuits did not conflict.
"Do you know why Xiao Yeqing did this?”A faint smile appeared on Madman Zhang's honest face, as if he knew Xiao Yeqing very well.
Qiao Liansheng shook his head." We only know that he is the leader of Bull Ghost Street. He came to Bull Ghost Street five years ago and opened a tavern.”
"This kid isn't simple. He's about the same age as Gui Jun. Twenty years ago, he and Gui Jun, two seven or eight-year-old children, went to North America's mercenary corps to stay for seven years. Your father sent the ghost army over, but Xiao Yeqing went along.”Xu Changpeng stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and said slowly.
"Along the way? What do you mean?" Qiao Liansheng frowned slightly and was puzzled.
"Twenty years ago, there was a small family in Beijing called the Xiao family. However, due to some small conflicts, it was occupied by Bai Qingsheng of the Bai family. Xiao Yeqing was the only one left. At that time, he was preparing to send the ghost army to the mercenary group. Xiao Yeqing insisted on going with him, so your father sent him along.”Madman Zhang smiled and continued.
"In that case, he has a grudge against the Bai family.”Qiao Lian Sheng was still somewhat skeptical. When Bai Xue Yan went to the Pedestrian Tavern, the two of them had a very harmonious conversation and Xiao Ye Qing did not have the slightest bit of hatred on his face.
Xu Changpeng nodded and smiled." He and Gui Jun came back seven years ago. They originally wanted to rely on your father's power to directly destroy the Bai family. However, your father had already withdrawn from Beijing. So, he began to recruit people everywhere like your father. He wanted to fight with the Bai family.”
"However, five years ago, he thought that he could put up a fight against the White Dragon Society, but he lost completely and hid in Bull Ghost Street with his tail between his legs. This kid was very skilled, so Bai Qingsheng didn't dare to pursue him too much. He had been waiting there until now.”
Xu Changpeng lit another cigarette and continued,""As for Gui Jun, he has been looking for your father ever since he came back. He followed me in Beijing for a few years before disappearing.”As he said the last sentence, Xu Changpeng looked at Lunatic Zhang tentatively.
Madman Zhang nodded." Er Mao Zi, you should have an impression of him."”
"Yes, it looks very familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it before.”Qiao Lian Sheng nodded honestly. He had a feeling that Gui Jun's face had appeared many times in his memories.
Madman Zhang suddenly laughed. It was a strange laugh, but then he sighed and muttered,"Looks like that incident has left a huge shadow on you. You don't even want to remember it.”
"Mad Monk, you've whetted my appetite.”Looking at Madman Zhang who didn't continue, Xu Changpeng couldn't help but urge him.
"That's right! Crazy Grandpa, hurry up and tell me! I hate hearing stories that are finished halfway!”Xu Shiyin, who was standing at the side, also pouted and urged him.
Lunatic Zhang didn't say anything. He turned his head and stared at Qiao Liansheng. After a long time, he shook his head." I can't say this. It depends on whether he's willing to remember."”
"Why?" Qiao Liansheng looked at Lunatic Zhang in confusion. She really didn't think that she had lost any memories since she was young, nor did she think that she would lose her memories.
"Old Qiao said that it's inherited from your Qiao family. Hehe, Gui Jun was almost killed by you!”
" What?!" Xu Changpeng exclaimed. This calm old man had never lost his composure like this before. One could imagine how unbelievable this sentence was.
"Moreover, Er Mao Zi was only ten years old at that time.”Madman Zhang recalled the scene at that time, and his honest face was also shocked.
Qiao Liansheng frowned and shook her head hard. She still had no impression of him. She shook her head with a bitter smile." I can't remember. I really can't."”
"It's fine if you can't remember. Old Qiao also said to let nature take its course. One day, you will remember. At that time, we won't be your match. Back at the warehouse, I thought the time was right. Heh, looks like I was wrong.”As he said this, Lunatic Zhang seemed a little disappointed.
Qiao Lian Sheng was stunned. She recalled the time in the warehouse when she saw Xue Lingyun being humiliated by Jun Hao Yan Sheng. She had instantly burst out with boundless strength and flashed in front of Jun Hao Yan Sheng, smashing his face with a punch. Thinking about it now, she found it strange. Where did she get such strength to break free from the person behind her and at the same time, instantly cross a distance of more than five meters? Thinking about it, it was indeed amazing.
"Ba Gui, do you really plan to let Ge Heqing participate?”Madman Zhang suddenly changed the topic and looked at Xu Changpeng meaningfully.
Xu Changpeng smiled and said slowly,"Back then, if it wasn't for someone who tipped off the two old fogeys from the Bai family and Jun Hao family, how could Gui Qiao have lost so completely in that gamble? At that time, only the nine of us knew about the plan. Who do you think it was? The woman you saved doesn't know much about us.”
"I wasn't there at the time, but I never wanted to believe that it was one of us.”Madman Zhang shook his head with a sigh.
"You'll know when you see it. After so many years, the spies I've planted in the officialdom and the business world are enough to form a huge intelligence network. Ge Heqing's role is not that great.”Xu Changpeng smiled strangely, and a few traces of coldness flashed across his old face.
"You've never been easy to deal with, so I don't have to worry about you.”Madman Zhang smiled in admiration.
Listening to their conversation, Qiao Liansheng sighed faintly. He thought of that figure in white, and the words " This is our destiny " still lingered in his ears. Half a year ago, he was still thinking about how to get close to her, but now, he was racking his brains to get people online to deal with her. He was indeed a fool…
The crescent moon shot out from the clouds. The faint moonlight shone on it, and the cool autumn wind blew past. Qiao Liansheng and Madman Zhang, who couldn't sleep, walked through the alleys of Beijing. They walked like this, and neither of them spoke. The old and the young looked a little worried.
Ten minutes later, the two of them stopped in front of a courtyard house. Madman Zhang looked at the somewhat dilapidated courtyard house and let out a long sigh. His honest face revealed a sense of loneliness.
"Your dad used to live here. Including the eight of us, the nine of us were full of passion and brazenly wandered around Beijing. At that time, it was very lively here every day. The nine of them would often drink until dawn and then go out to work passionately. Hehe, I really miss it!"
Qiao Liansheng followed Lunatic Zhang into the courtyard and sat down at a stone table. She looked around the courtyard house and tried to imagine the scene of the nine people's sincere feelings back then, but it was always very vague.
"After your father left Beijing, I bought this place. After I found your father, I never came back. Dust was everywhere, and there were even spider webs. Heh, what a huge change!”Madman Zhang wiped the dust off the table and sighed.
"Er Mao, do you know what's different between you and your dad?”After a long time, Lunatic Zhang turned his head and smiled at Qiao Liansheng.
Qiao Liansheng shook his head. Ever since she was young, she had always felt that Qiao Xianjing was a useless drunkard and had deliberately discarded everything about him. She really didn't know what else she had in common with him other than their looks.
"The most admirable thing about Old Qiao is his heroic spirit. All difficult things are no longer difficult for him. He always has unexpected ideas. Moreover, your father is publicly recognized as the number one talent in Beijing. He is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Half-Blind said that he was the most outstanding man in the world. This was not an exaggeration at all!”
At this point, Madman Zhang couldn't help but smile in admiration." We've all benefited from following him. They were also willing to follow your father. Out of the eight of us, only Xu Bagui can match up to one-third of his intelligence. However, he had a weakness. He was too confident and easily trusted people in his relationships.”
"What do you mean?"
"Back then, there was a woman in the Bai family named Bai Yuyun. She was Bai Qingsheng's sister and the most beautiful and talented woman in Beijing. When your dad went to Hangzhou for a business trip, he met her by the West Lake and had a day and night of sightseeing. After they returned, the two of them got together. Old Qiao believed in this relationship, but it turned out that this encounter was specially arranged by the old ghost of the Bai family. Old Qiao also knew that, but he believed that Bai Yuyun had feelings for him. Under impulse, he had made a huge gamble back then. Hehe, love is sin!"
"What about my mother? Why was she with Qiao Xianjing?”
"Half Blind is Xia Linfeng's only daughter. From the first time Old Qiao showed his face in the upper class, Half Blind had taken a fancy to him. She is a woman who dares to love and hate. Once she fell in love, she never turned back. She has been following Old Qiao for more than 20 years and has never left. Old Qiao's life was at stake in that gamble. If it weren't for her, your father wouldn't have been able to leave Beijing alive.”
Qiao Liansheng's body trembled. He suddenly recalled the dialogue he had at the train station when he was eleven years old." I'm the one who accompanied him through this life, not anyone else. That's enough."”What an indifferent sentence, and how much bitterness behind it…
"For so many years, I've been pretending to be crazy in Lugou Village. I've also seen the half-blind woman do everything silently. He really admired her! She was a daughter of a noble family, and she had been a village woman in a remote village for more than twenty years. Old Qiao let her down!" Lunatic Zhang lit a cigarette and smoked silently.
Qiao Liansheng lowered her head, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. She was thinking about the half-blind woman's poor life and the stone tablet without any words.
"Er Mao Zi, you can't blame Old Qiao. The half-blind man was willing. She didn't feel bitter, she always felt happy.”Madman Zhang lightly patted Qiao Liansheng's shoulder and said indifferently.
"I know." Qiao Liansheng choked and nodded. The half-blind woman's greatest wish was to accompany Qiao Xianjing, so she would smile so brightly when she died.
The courtyard fell into a dead silence. After a long time, Lunatic Zhang threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it. He opened his mouth slowly and said,"Er Mao, Ye Qingxuan is a good woman. She really fell in love with you, so she hasn't harmed you.”
" Uncle Zhang, you…" Qiao Liansheng looked at Lunatic Zhang in disbelief.
"She was also there at the warehouse. She wanted to save you a few times, but she was stopped by the people around her.”Madman Zhang smiled and continued,"The Ye family was a wealthy family in Shanghai more than 20 years ago. At that time, they were also recruited by Old Qiao into the Nine Dragons Union. However, these years, because of the change of the Dragon Lord, the Ye family has been ostracized and declined.”
"Then she…"
" Hehe, it's not what you think. She approached you because she wanted to see which noble family had the intention of becoming the Dragon Lord of the Nine Dragons Union. Then, she would help you. If she helped you just right, she would be a hero in the future, and the Ye family would rise up.”Lunatic Zhang explained with a smile, as if he knew what Ye Qingxuan was doing.
Qiao Liansheng was stunned for a moment before shaking his head and smiling bitterly." Is there any difference from harming me? He just wants to take credit for it.”
"If you can take in the Ye family, won't you have an additional capital? I think this is feasible. Find an opportunity to go to Shanghai and have a chat with the old man of the Ye family.”
"This is... " But Elder Xu…" Qiao Liansheng looked troubled. Xu Changpeng had a verbal engagement with her. If she talked to the Ye family, wouldn't it be a mess?
Madman Zhang was silent, and a trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes. After a long time, he sighed." Er Mao Zi, the only thing you can't compare to your father is intelligence. I stayed in Lugou Village for more than ten years. When I returned to Beijing, I saw Xu Bagui again. Although I could still feel the friendship from before, I could no longer understand him.”
Qiao Liansheng's heart turned cold." Uncle Zhang, what are you saying?”
"Although he is in prison, he can come and go freely. The high officials and dignitaries also support him. I don't understand what he has been doing all these years, nor do I know why he did it. Maybe I'm thinking too much, but Er Mao Zi, it's not wrong to take things one step at a time.”
Qiao Liansheng suddenly felt a chill in his heart. If Xu Changpeng really had other thoughts like what Lunatic Zhang said, then she would become a chess piece in his hands. Moreover, for now, she could only follow the direction he pointed out without any room for resistance.
"You don't have to be too flustered. If Xu Bagui really has any strange thoughts, Gui Jun and I will not let him off. In addition, Xiao Yeqing is also following you, not Xu Bagui.”Madman Zhang patted Qiao Liansheng's shoulder and said softly.
Qiao Liansheng nodded. Since that was the case, it was definitely possible to rope in the Ye family, and the sooner, the better. However, he couldn't go to the Ye family as a son-in-law. He could only go as Qiao Xianjing's son.
"The years have passed, the old place is still there, but the hearts of the people have scattered, hehe.。。”Lunatic Zhang slowly stood up and smiled sadly. He put his hands behind his back and slowly walked around the courtyard.
Qiao Liansheng sighed faintly in agreement. Suddenly, he felt like he was besieged on all sides. He had not come to Beijing to take back what was in his hands, but to prevent others from snatching what was in his hands. He wondered if he had come to the wrong place this time. Would he be like Qiao Xianjing 20 years ago and be driven out arrogantly…
