On Jinfeng Street, the evening breeze does not smell like money, but instead carries a choking smell of inferior cigarette oil.
Most of the people living here cannot afford the clean, simple but expensive new energy, so they try their best to find some raw materials for refining and processing to make a living.
Of course, this is illegal.
To explain it according to the laws of the empire: there are huge security risks.
They are not worried about whether you can afford to eat, but they are worried about your personal safety.
"Old friend?" A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth and he said loudly: "When you killed the family and friends of your old friend, you were never merciful."
< p>"When people are in the world, they can't help themselves.""Haha." The sarcasm on the old man's face became even stronger, and he was no longer interested in talking to him.
Since experiencing the tragedy of destroying the Tang Dynasty, he is no longer willing to talk to others.
The human heart is like a ghost, and often the person standing in front of you is scarier than a ghost.
Ghosts scare people and eat people.
"You came here to arrest me and get a reward for me?"
"You have misunderstood me. It has been so many years since I caught you." What are you doing?"
"In this case, you are following me all the way, you can't come here to chat and reminisce, right?"
"I accidentally found a person, a very special person. Interesting young man."
The man in black smiled, with drooped eyelids and thick lips.
What is particularly eye-catching is his nose, which is large and protruding and covered with pits and red spots.
This made his already ordinary face look even more dirty and ugly.
"I became very interested in him and wanted to see who was around him. Then I found you. Old friend, do you think this is fate?"< /p>
The old man felt his heart sinking with a thud.
The Tang bandits were exposed.
I was also exposed.
He knows the connection between Tang Bandit and himself
Does he know Tang Bandit’s true identity?
The old man stared at the man in black with stern eyes and said, "I thought alcoholics only had eyes for wine, but I didn't expect there are so many worldly things."
"I I don’t want to, but when he enters the door of our Sheng family, I have to know who this person is. Is he really a poor boy with no roots and an innocent identity?”
“Sheng Kuang, what the hell are you doing? What do you want to do? ”
The man in black touched his nose. Because he rubbed it so hard, the already abrupt and huge nose became even more red and glaring.
"I should ask you this question, right? Lu Yu, what do you want to do?"
The old man did not answer.
Naturally, he couldn't say what he wanted to do.
"I don't care what you want to do, but don't involve our Sheng family, let alone Sheng Xinhuai"
Sheng Kuang threatened: "You will beat me to death or alive." No matter if it hurts my family, then I will fight with you."
"Haha, what happens to your Sheng family has nothing to do with us, and it has nothing to do with what we want to do." Lu Yu sneered. He made a loud sound, but thought in his heart that it would be best if he didn't care.
If he pursues the case seriously, his identity and that of the Tang bandits may be exposed to the public.
This is a devastating blow.
He cannot accept such consequences, so the best solution is to kill him.
What a pity, it is not that easy to kill the drunkard, one of the three idiots.
This is Phoenix City, even if it is leftovers from Phoenix City, it is still Phoenix City
With a little carelessness, he not only exposed his identity, but also offended such a powerful enemy.
"This is best." Shengcheng nodded with satisfaction.
He looked at the old man with deep eyes and asked aloud: "Okay
How good would it be if you can't just save a life and use it to drink? Why have such unrealistic illusions? ?"
"You only have wine in your heart, and I only have hatred in my heart."
"But if you do this, you will kill many people. Including that kid, including yourself, and There are many innocent people."
"I'm not afraid of living, why should I be afraid of death?"
"It seems that you have made up your mind, so I wish you good luck." Grand occasion After saying that, he picked up his wine gourd and prepared to turn around and leave.
The old man opened his mouth to say thank you, but his throat was crawling and those two words could not come out.
The grand scene seemed to have eyes behind it, waving to him and saying: "Go and drink, drink and be happy in life. Don't let the golden bottle face the moon in the sky. Peach Blossom Immortal Race Peach trees, picking peach blossoms to exchange for wine money."
The person has gone away, and the voice gradually fades away.
A handsome young man in white appeared next to the old man. Looking at the retreating figure, he asked expressionlessly: "Not killing?"
"Are you confident? A sure hit?"
Bai Wuxin concentrated on thinking, then shook his head and said, "No. His level of cultivation is not inferior to mine."
"Enlighten the Tao through wine. Immortal. The drunkard has been famous for many years, and it will be difficult for you to kill him if he has already entered the master realm."
"If he doesn't succeed, it will be even more detrimental to us."
p>"At such a critical moment, why bother provoking such a powerful enemy?"
"Aren't you afraid that he will tell you?"
"Afraid. But I know he is not Yes."
"Are you old friends?"
"I don't trust friends, nor do I trust old friends." The old man shook his head slightly and said aloud: "He won't say. , not becauseNot for me but because of that kid. ”
“He is close to the Sheng family, and he doesn’t say anything about his close relationship with the young lady of the Sheng family, because he wants to protect the Sheng family and the young lady.”
Bai Wuxin After a moment of silence, he asked, "Is this a beauty trap?"

Phoenix Palace.
While Zhong Daolong was working at his desk, Chen Fenglei walked in quietly and reported in a low voice: "Master, the second prince is here and wants to see you."
< p>Zhong Daolong frowned slightly, closed the folder in his hand and said, "Didn't I tell him to recuperate in Xiaoyaoju? What? Are you restless again?"Chen Fenglei accompanied him with a smile, He explained aloud: "The second prince heard that his eldest brother was attacked by a pirate ship, so he wanted to visit his eldest brother and ask the king for permission."
"Ha" Zhong Daolong sneered.
After a pause, he added: "If you want to act like brothers and sisters, it's not a bad thing."
Zhong Daolong knew that because of their power, the two brothers There was already a rift in Zheng's heart.
It is unrealistic for them to truly reconcile like brothers.
As long as we can maintain peace on the plane, it is enough, and we will not let those outside gossip.
Isn’t this how members of the royal family come here?
"Let him come in, and let me see if he has made any progress after spending time behind closed doors."
"Yes, Lord." Chen Fenglei turned and left.
Soon, he walked in with the second prince Zhong Tianyi.
"Dad." Zhong Tianyi looked at Zhong Daolong, his eyes red.
Zhong Daolong sighed deeply in his heart when he looked at Zhong Tianyi's pale face and haggard appearance.
Originally, his second son was his favorite because he was more free and casual.
The eldest son is too much like me. He imitates everything and loses his own spirit.
However, there is only one position. In order to maintain the rationality and security of the inheritance, he can only give up Zhong Tianyi and support Zhong Tianyi
Even if he is the king of a country, There are also many times when you can’t help yourself.
"Well, I have lost a lot of weight." Zhong Daolong looked at Zhong Tianyi and said loudly: "It seems that you haven't eaten well recently?"
"I really don't have much appetite." Zhong Tianyi did not deny it and spoke out.
He understands his father's character, and blindly catering to him will make him unhappy.
"Then it proves that you have something on your mind." With a faint smile on his face, Zhong Daolong picked up the tea in front of him and moistened his throat: "What? Do you have any complaints against me?"
Zhong Tianyi hurried forward and took the initiative to refill Zhong Daolong's empty teacup.
"Dad, how could I have such an idea? I know you do it for my own good, to keep our family in harmony. I have been rebelling against you during this time.Think about yourself, how could you do those stupid things? ”
“Compared with ordinary people, I already have so much. It’s not an exaggeration to say that I am the luckiest person in the world. What else can I ask for? Live happily. It will be fine if I finish this life."
"Being born into the royal family and being your son is already the greatest wealth in my life. In the past, I was bewitched by villains and blinded by interests. In the future, I just want to do something I like.”
“I shouldn’t think about opening a tennis hall or starting a sports car club, and I shouldn’t do anything I shouldn’t do. The only thing I want to do is. What I am doing is your little son, and I have nothing else to ask for.”
Zhong Daolong looked at Zhong Tianyi with deep eyes, as if he was measuring the authenticity of his words.
After a long time, he nodded and said aloud: "I am very happy that you can think so. A family should be happy together. Understand and tolerate each other."
"It seems that you have learned a lot during this period and have matured a lot. You said you want to visit your elder brother?"
"Yes, I heard that my elder brother was attacked by pirates. I am very worried. I just want to go over and check on him. If you think it’s inappropriate, then I won’t go.”
Zhong Daolong winked and said displeasedly, “What’s wrong with that?” "You two are brothers. Are you going to stay away from each other forever?"
"Go and see. It's time for the brothers to talk. It's time to drink and party." Party"
"I understand. Then I will go over and see my elder brother now. When something like this happens to him, I, as a brother, should go over and see."
"Yes. Go ahead. Tell your brother, those scoundrels will pay a heavy price."
"Yes, I will tell you." Zhong Tianyi nodded.
I was wise enough not to ask who those "little people" are. Overly enthusiastic concern will make people doubt your true intentions.
After Zhong Tianyi left, Zhong Daolong glanced at the tea in the cup and said, "The tea is cold, let's change it to a cup of hot tea."
Chen Fenglei's heart was slightly frightened. He placed his gaze on the cup of tea soup that Zhong Tianyi helped to refill, not daring to meet Zhong Daolong's eyes.
"Yes, Lord."
Chen Fenglei agreed, picked up the cup of tea and left.
Soon, another cup of hot tea was brought.
Even the cups have been changed.
Your heart is as deep as the sea, and accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.

Military Commission.
Shen Wuxiang is sitting in the chairman's seat at the conference table. He is tall and has a straight back. Even if he doesn't say a word, he can bring great intimidation.
Humu looked around and asked aloud: "Where is the Security Bureau? Have the results of the investigation come out?"
The Security Bureau is the disciplinary inspection and supervision department within the military. The committee directly controls andlead.
It is nominally internal, but it can also be expanded externally in case of emergencies.
After all, they cannot put all their hopes on the Overwatch Council.
Under normal circumstances, the two systems cannot be peeed into the same pot.
Guo Nu, the director of the Security Bureau, stood up with an "ooh" and said loudly: "Prime Minister Shen, this is my humble duty."
Although he is the director of the Security Bureau, he He is also a direct descendant of Shen Wuxiang.
The Security Bureau is the Security Bureau of the Military Department and Shen Wuxiang's Security Bureau.
The airtight atmosphere inside their operation cannot be penetrated. If Shen Wuxiang wants someone to die, just giving him a look is enough.
They can frame up the target person and list the charges
The Security Bureau has great authority, and Guo Nu's position is very important.
So, he could only hug Shen Wuxiang's thigh tightly.
Because he knows better than anyone else that if he is abandoned by Shen Wuxiang, those who have been framed by him will tear him into pieces
Like the Supervisory Yuan, both It's a job to offend people.
So, they must rely on power to exist.
For example, the Supervisory Yuan relies on the royal family and the trust of Zhong Daolong.
The Security Bureau relies on the Shen family's background and Shen Wuxiang's strength.
"Okay, okay, I have a question for you, just answer the question." Shen Wuxiang waved his hand impatiently.
"Yes." Guo Nu responded in a deep voice: "We sent a salvage ship to collect the fragments of those pirate ships. After inspection and analysis, it was found that the hulls of those pirate ships had been reinforced externally. The internal system inside has also been transformed and upgraded."
At this point, Guo Nu stopped talking.
A tangled look of wanting to say something but not wanting to.
"Huh?" Shen Wuxiang snorted coldly and said: "It is what it is, how dare you hide such a thing?"
"Do you know those pirate ships? What did they do? They attacked the royal fleet and the Vulcan on which His Royal Highness the Great Prince was riding."
"What is this behavior? This is a war, this is a declaration of war against our Phoenix Empire. All participants are complicit. They are all rebels and treasonous acts."
Seeing Shen Wuxiang getting angry, Guo Nu knew that he could no longer hesitate.
Even if he opens his mouth, he will push himself into a dead end
"The expert team of the Imperial Science and Technology Research Institute determined that the external reinforcement material used by the pirate ships that attacked the royal fleet was U37 It is the latest high-tech defensive coating developed by Luban Mountain."
"The internal system of the pirate ship uses the Suzaku 9981 system. This is also Luban Mountain's proprietary scientific and technological achievement. It is not yet open to the outside world, even for the royal family. The fleet is not equipped either."
While Guo Nu was speaking, he took out the various research materials in his hand and the appraisal results signed by the expert group.The results were presented one by one to all committee members present.
Shen Wuxiang took the material, glanced at it, and asked in a deep voice: "So, this attack case is closely related to the Lu family?"
Guo Nu gritted his teeth. Said: "Yes. Although we failed to capture the pirate members alive, those pirate ships did use the scientific and technological achievements of Luban Mountain"
"This is why they were able to bring such a heavy blow to the imperial starship. The reason is that it is difficult for pirate ships to do this."
"They didn't do it." Shen Wuxiang tapped his fingers lightly on the table and looked at Guo Nu and said: "Why don't we just invite Lu Dongsheng over and ask?"
Lu Dongsheng is the minister of the Imperial Machinery Industry Department, the flagship of the Lu family and a leading figure in the officialdom.
Shen Wuxiang will bring Lu Dongsheng over for interrogation if he disagrees with you. This is putting the Lu family's face on the ground.
"Xiang Shen, this is what you are doing. Isn’t it inappropriate? After all, we have easily brought a ministerial official for investigation without any conclusive evidence. Will the backlash be too intense?” Wang Banshan, a member of the Military Commission, raised objections.
Shen Wuxiang glanced at Wang Banshan with gloomy eyes and asked aloud: "Isn't this enough evidence? Can you make this U37 material or can I make it? Which one of you here can make it? ?"
"And the Suzaku system is the core technology of Luban Mountain. Even the imperial warships have not installed it on those pirate ships. Who else can use it besides them?"< /p>
"Besides, you just invited people to cooperate with our work. Who said they were under investigation?"
Seeing that Shen Wuxiang had a tough attitude and wanted to detain Lu Dongsheng, Others also began to feel uneasy.
Is Shen Wuxiang going to break up with the Lu family?
Is the Lu family going to collapse in this wave of struggle?
Is this Shen Wuxiang’s attitude or that of the Phoenix Palace? In other words, is it the attitude of the vast majority of people?
"Guo Nu, go to
the Machinery Department to ask Minister Lu to cooperate with our work."
"Yes." Guo Nu saluted and shouted loudly.
There is no way out, so I can only put my head in my belt and rush forward.
From today on, from this moment on, he has been fighting to the death with the Lu family.
Shen Wuxiang's eagle-like eyes glanced over the faces of everyone present one by one. After finding that no one objected, he seemed to suddenly remember something and said aloud: "That's right. , say hello to the Supervisory Yuan and ask them to cooperate with our work and investigate the incident involving Lu Banshan."
"Yes."
——
When Tang Bandit received the order to cooperate in handling the case, he was drinking tea and chatting with Tan Yu in the office.
Beautiful women are always pleasing to the eye. Even if I have no other bad thoughts towards her, it is still nice to talk to her.
What’s more, this is an interesting woman.
"The Lu family? Lu Dongsheng?" The Tang bandit asked with an incredulous expression on his face: "The Lu family attacked the royal fleet?"
(ps: Dear little kid Have a healthy Dragon Boat Festival, friends! )
