【025】Dark Clouds Overwhelm the City
Under Gongsun Ying's guidance, Chen Qiushi carried out the execution. Although Shen You and the others could not help much, fortunately they were able to make some moves. Unless they didn't come in, they could instantly start the battle just by adding something casually.
However, Shen You knew that most of these formations exploited the fantasies in people's minds. It could even be said that it was not the formations that fascinated them, but the illusions they themselves extended in their minds.
It's actually very simple to come out. You can calm down, close your eyes and concentrate your mind, and you can come out. It's just that at that time, no one was willing to close their eyes even though they could see the scene in front of them.
After all, when everyone is in the most critical moment, the only person they can trust without reservation is always themselves.
In the early years of traveling around the world, Bai Qian and Gongsun Ying had some treatment methods, so the injured Gangzi also stayed at home. However, based on the suggestions of Bai Qian and Gongsun Ying, Su Qingqian went out to help. I grabbed some medicine.
After all, at this time, the enemy is hiding, and no one knows who is behind it. If Gangzi is scattered, doesn't it give others opportunities to defeat him?
At noon, Su Qingqian bought some vegetables and fruits accompanied by Chen Qiushi. However, when Su Qingqian walked in with large and small bags, her face was full of strange expressions.
Before Shen You could ask, Chen Qiushi, who was going out with her, took out an invitation and handed it to Shen You with a little worry: "Someone wants to invite you to dinner again!"
After hearing this, Bai Qianqian laughed loudly, stood aside and stroked his slightly raised beard and said: "You can't tell, with this attitude, if I have a daughter, I won't rush to marry you!"
Gongsun Ying, who was sitting on the chair, said with a smile as if he was afraid that the world would be in chaos: "Don't tell me, Long Jiutian really has a daughter. It is said that she is beautiful and tender as water..."
Shen You, who had met Long Sheng'er, naturally knew that Gongsun Ying's words were not true. He was beautiful, but his tenderness was missing. Of course, he was not in the mood to think about it now. He opened the invitation card in his hand and was stunned. .
Although the location is also the Shanghai Hotel, these are not important. What is important is the payment.
Ding Shoufang! The second eldest brother of the Qinggang!
Shen You was stunned for a moment, but he soon understood that what he was thinking was that the Qing Gang was not as monolithic as it seemed to the outside world, and a combination of circumstances made him guess right.
Bai Qian was the closest to him. He stretched out his head and saw the signature. He was also surprised, but he quickly understood. He spoke to Shen in a rare and serious manner: "If you want to catch the tiger's cub, you must enter the tiger's den." !”
Shen You's expression did not change after hearing this, but in fact, he had already made up his mind. The Qing Gang, which looked monolithic to outsiders, still wanted him to find a crack.
At this time, Chen Qiushi suddenly said: "Boss Shen, I just heard some rumors outside. It seems that Ding Shoufang and Long Jiutian have some objections..."
Shen You smiled slightly and thought to himself that this Chen Qiushi was a brat. Although he was underage, he had the information but did not speak. He waited until he had basically made up his mind before speaking.
"Tell me, if it's Ding Shoufang's brother-in-law, then forget it!"
"He is really his brother-in-law, but I think you really need to listen." Chen Qiushi said to Shen You with a sly smile.
It turned out that while Chen Qiushi and Su Qingqian were shopping for groceries, Chen Qiushi, who was mainly in charge of doing coolies and Su Qingqian was choosing, heard someone joking that Ding Shoufang's brother-in-law had returned to the Qinggang, and had suddenly transformed into a Not a big or small boss.
The market itself is the source of news dissemination, and it is also the best way to expand the news. Three people become tigers, and they spread rumors. Why did Ding Shoufang get angry and threaten to leave the Qing Gang because of his woman? Long Jiutian felt fear in his heart and couldn't help but He invited his brother-in-law back and gave him a position in the Youth Gang, etc.
After hearing this, Shen You couldn't help but chuckle to himself, but he still keenly discovered a problem. If it was really Ding Shoufang who reclassified his brother-in-law to the Qing Gang, then this would definitely be a game worth playing!
The leader asked and expelled the gang himself. If he relied on Ding Shoufang's power, even if his brother-in-law was expelled, if he deliberately arranged a few people, no one would dare to touch his troubles without opening their eyes.
The key point is, why should a matter that can be solved with a low profile be released in a high profile in just a few days? Word has begun to spread among the people in the market. Is it possible that Ding Shoufang and Long Jiuzhen are irreconcilable?
From this point of view, I really must go for this meal tonight.
Not only Nalan Changfeng didn't understand, but Ding Shoufang, who received the news through the Dragon Hall Hall Master, was also very depressed. In his eyes, Shen You was like a pawn, and he was quite disapproving of the fact that he was asked to invite him to entertain him solemnly. Meaning.
However, after living in the world for so many years, he also knew that he was being used as a gun. He clearly knew that Long Jiutian had just met Shen You, so he continued to invite him. It was a confrontational posture.
However, he also looked away, especially when his brother-in-law was expelled from the gang by Boss Long who did not miss his old friendship. In his eyes, this was a kind of beating from Long Jiutian to him. After all, many people in the Qing Gang now knew that He is the leader, but he doesn't know the nominal boss Long Jiutian.
Perhaps sometimes, fate must be broken when it comes to the end, and there is no point in forcing it. The moment he saw Nalan Changfeng, he seemed to know that there was something he had to do.
On the one hand, even though he has been with Long Jiutian for so many years, many people have unconsciously regarded him as the boss and become his person. He even felt that in the Qing Gang, his control power was faintly greater than that of Long Jiutian. Long Jiutian was basically separated from the core of power of the Qinggang.
In addition, he also knows in his heart the status of the Nalan family in the country. They have people in both political and business circles. Everyone in the world knows that the Nalan family has been inherited from the Manchu Dynasty and is good at playing swordsmanship. This is natural. Over the years, the corresponding inheritance will definitely be preserved.
If it were just him, after so many years, he has already passed the age of fighting for power, and taking care of himself in old age is a big deal. If a fight for power continues, he will probably kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to himself.
But now it is different with the support of the Nalan family. He himself understands that even if he does not support, the Nalan family has already started to plant nails in the Qinggang. To put it bluntly, even if he is in the Qinggang, I guess they can’t resist the Nalan family who have been planning this for so many years.
Therefore, calling his brother-in-law back was only the first step. He had already begun to test Long Jiutian's bottom line. He immediately overturned what Long Jiutian had just done. This was no different from a slap in the face in public.
In the Shencheng Hotel, as soon as Shen You arrived at the door at the agreed time, a doorman came to greet him. When he heard that it was Shen You, he was sent to the private room that Ding Shoufang had reserved.
Unbiased, it happened to be the private room where Long Jiutian invited him to dinner last time!
This is not simply a coincidence!
Vaguely, Shen You also smelled a hint of conspiracy.
The moment he walked into the private room, Shen You's eyes narrowed, but he quickly returned to his original appearance and walked over with a smile.
There were three people sitting in the room, an old man who was unsmiling, a young man who was suave but a little unsteady, and a man in his forties with a shaved hair.
There was no doubt that the man in his forties was Ding Shoufang. Because he had Zhang Liangji in mind, Shen You walked over with a smile and took the initiative to say hello to Ding Shoufang.
In fact, if Shen You revealed his identity as the leader of the Qianmen Sect, he would at least be able to make friends with Ding Shoufang, but when he made an appointment with Duan Laosan at the Sweet Health Center, Shen You did not expand his identity. And now, he also feels that This is not the moment for him to reveal his identity smoothly.
After the guests and hosts sat down, Ding Shoufang pointed to the two people and introduced Shen You. The older one was called Fu Bo and the younger one was called Chang Feng. They were his most private powers.
Shen You was startled after hearing this. Ding Shoufang deliberately and mysteriously told him that those two people were his private power when they first met, which really made Shen You confused.
The private power was afraid that others would know about it, but they did not expect that Ding Shoufang would actually discuss it on the stage, and also discuss it in front of him, a person they met for the first time.
When you don't know what cards the other party is playing, Shen You's first choice is never to take the initiative to guess what cards the other party is going to play, but to slowly get in touch with them, through clues, peeling off the cocoon layer by layer, and finally come up with your own in conclusion.
The dishes were all served very quickly, mainly Quancheng dishes, with occasionally a few local dishes from Shanghai as a foil.
Shen You also laughed while eating, dealing with the questions that the young man named Chang Feng asked from time to time and the deliberate greetings from Ding Shoufang. The old man named Fu Bo, on the other hand, never asked questions, but Shen You clearly felt His eyes glanced over his body many times.
"Come, try this fish!" Uncle Fu, who had been silent for so long, finally spoke!
When Shen You saw the fish turning in front of him, although his face was expressionless, he smiled secretly in his heart.
Uncle Fu continued: "After deep-fried, this fish is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and tastes crispy. Of course, it is delicious for a reason. The selection of ingredients is very tricky. It must be carp with red tail and golden scales from the Yellow River. The scales on the sides are all It’s golden yellow, and the tail and anal fins are orange-red. It used to be easy to say, but now it’s hard to choose just this fish!”
Listening to Uncle Fu's voice that was half sighing and half regretful, Shen You had a wry smile on his face. The two giants of the Qinggang invited him to dinner one after another. The restaurants were the same, the private rooms were the same, and they mainly focused on Quancheng cuisine. However, one of them talked like a fool, and the other talked about sweet and sour carp.
