Chapter 66 Beating to win over kindness and power
Luo Laowai turned over and dismounted.
Standing outside the carriage, rubbing his hands and smiling coquettishly.
Just when the corner of my eye glanced at the cars of bright objects.
But the shock and salivation on his face could not be suppressed at all, and his saliva was about to drip out.
Over the years, he has done a lot of digging graves.
A pair of eyesight gradually developed.
Although the things on the car are covered tightly.
But antique artifacts are like human temperament, which cannot be explained but cannot be concealed.
Just the glimpse and the sudden burst of treasure made his heart beat faster.
I don’t know what kind of amazing mausoleum this person dug to be able to bring back so many good things at once.
Come this way.
The team stretched for almost a mile or two.
The deep wheel marks on the dirt road made him even more stunned.
“Luo Shuai, what do you want from Chen?”
From the moment I saw him.
Chen Yulou recognized it.
There are about six or seven groups of warlords, big and small, in the borders of Sanxiang and Four Rivers.
However, that was a few years ago.
After receiving the support of his Chen family from Luo Laowai, he recruited troops, long guns and short cannons, and his strength expanded rapidly.
It has eaten up three or four small forces.
Nowadays, apart from him, there are only two warlords left.
It’s just that he, Lao Luo, has the support of the Chen family, but those two are not just freeloaders. Behind them are big shots with big eyes.
Even if you have already lost your mind.
But there is nothing anyone can do.
This resulted in the current embarrassing situation.
To put it nicely, it is called the tripartite confrontation.
In fact, there is a stalemate.
Luo Laowai is very ambitious.
I have always wanted to swallow up the other two companies and become the sole leader.
At that time, I dare not say that I will be the king of the Three Hunan and Four Rivers, but at least I will no longer have to live in the shadow of Chen Yulou.
Just.
Everything costs money.
Especially guns and cannons, which are even more expensive.
But in these days of war and chaos, making money is nothing more than lip service.
After thinking about it, he put his mind on touching gold and stealing bones.
Isn’t this how the Chen family started?
Ancestral for several generations, three generations of thieves.
An ever-victorious mountain is said to be the gate of Green Forest Mountain, but in fact, the Chen family is the real talker of the Three Hunan and Four Rivers.
In addition, he usually heard stories from people. It was said that Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms had Mo Jin Xiaowei and Faqiu Zhonglang General under his command, who fought for him everywhere to raise military resources.
This time, he couldn't hold himself back.
Immediately followed suit and formed an engineering battalion.
Take the word digzi.
Digging and robbing graves everywhere.
On our own territory, almost nine out of ten tombs are empty.
With the money, he immediately sent people to the provincial capital to secretly obtain a batch of long guns, beating the other two families to the point where they couldn't hold their heads up.
It was in the limelight for a while.
He even earned the title of King of Hell, the Butcher of People.
The name can stop children in Xiangyin from crying at night.
But...
After all, paper cannot cover the fire.
He has no scruples, and his methods of making money have already been found out by the other two companies.
How could they sit back and watch the rise of Luo Laowai's family?
Engineer battalions were also formed one after another, and they fought to raise gold and silver.
The three families are once again in balance.
The other two even secretly joined forces in private, planning to kill Luo Laowai first, and then they would fight each other to the death to determine the winner.
How can Luo Laowai stand this?
With no choice but to ask Chen Yulou for help.
But in the past six months, he didn’t know how many times he made trips to Chenjiazhuang and Changsheng Mountain.
Chen Yulou has been avoiding seeing him.
Just show him a Huamaguai and send him away.
Last month, I didn’t even see Huamaguai when I came here.
Only after asking him did he find out that Chen Bantou actually took someone to fight outside.
This time, he even had blisters in his mouth.
I can’t eat well and can’t sleep well.
I wish I could come here every three or two days.
Early this morning, he received a report from his subordinates, saying that they had seen the Chen family's motorcade. Hong Gu, Kunlun and Huamaguai were all in the team.
How could he bear it now?
Take a few confidants from the pistol battalion, mount your horses and head to Chenjiazhuang.
This is the scene now.
"Shuai Luo."
Seeing the visitor, Chen Yulou raised his eyelids, but his eyes remained on the book in his hand.
I didn’t mean to pay attention to him.
This time Luo Laowai was confused.
Standing outside the car with a ray of light on my back, I didn’t feel comfortable asking but didn’t dare to turn around and leave.
In the final analysis, he, Lao Luo, is no longer king and hegemony outside, but he still knows it in his heart. He is just a dog of the Chen family.
The young man in front of me is only in his twenties and looks like a teacher.
That is the local emperor of the Three Hunan and Four Rivers.
With just one sentence, he, Old Luo, could go back and continue carrying corpses for others.
“It’s me, it’s me.”
Mr. Luo rubbed his hands crookedly, with a flattering smile on his face.
"Do you have anything to do with Chen?"
"Well, um, shopkeeper Chen, this..."
Hearing this, Mr. Luo's face suddenly became a little uncomfortable. Get comfortable.
He came to see Chen Yulou.
One is to cry out that he is poor and see if he can get some money from the Chen family. Even if it doesn't work, rice is still a good thing.
Now there are thousands of people under my command who need to eat.
It gave him a headache.
Another one.
The reason why he was so anxious and went back and forth more than ten times was because of another thing.
The old holes in his territory have been dug out for a long time.
Luo Laowai was thinking about trying other places.
But the Dizi Camp under his command is actually a gangster who smokes all year round.
The inversion bucket relies entirely on raw digging and hard planing, with no technical content.
But the two next to him were eyeing him covetously, and they sent people to keep an eye on him all year round.
How dare Luo Laowai act without permission?
Once the news is revealed, I am afraid that even before he leaves Xiangyin, his lair will be taken away with pots and bowls.
So, after much thought, he still had to hug the Chen family's lap.
Shopkeeper Chen, the contemporary leader of the bandits in Xiling, has a superb skill in fighting with one hand and is astonishing to the heavens.
When the time comes, let him leak something casually between your fingers.
It was enough for him, Lao Luo, to make his mouth water.
But...
These two things are all said in private, how can they be put into the open.
There are many people around, so if it is leaked, how can he, Luo Laowai, still fool around?
“If Luo Shuai has something to say, just say it.”
I saw him stammering and he couldn't speak.
How could Chen Yulou not understand his thoughts.
But he just pretended not to understand and said a few words without being salty or indifferent.
As soon as I heard this.
Luo Laowai was suddenly sweating profusely.
He almost crossed the threshold of Chenjiazhuang. It was hard to see people, so how could he go back empty-handed.
"This... Shopkeeper Chen, to tell you the truth, Lao Luo has been burned out during this period."
"Song Laowu from Hubi Village and Peng Laowu from Huodong Temple Lai Zi, these two stubborn people have teamed up to trick me. I, Lao Luo, am really no match for me, so why don’t I ask shopkeeper Chen to make the decision for me?”
Clenched his teeth.
Luo Laowai doesn’t care about his face.
Grandma, what is your face compared to the head on your head?
When he was young, he never did anything just to make a living.
Now that I have finally climbed to this point, if I let him surrender to others, it would be better to chop him with a knife.
Holding his fists, Luo Laowai bowed and said with a bitter look on his face.
I want to bury my head on the ground.
"That's it?"
"Did Luo Shuai forget something? Once Chen ends up, where will I be?"
Listen to his cry.
Chen Yulou frowned, finally moved his eyes away from the book, and glanced at him coldly.
He also heard about Song Laowu and Peng Laizi.
After all, the realm of Xiangyin is so big.
Except for Changsheng Mountain, almost all other hills are occupied by people.
Like Luo Laowai, he occupies the area of Etou Mountain.
But there are established rules in the world.
Everyone supports each other and does not take action easily.
Luo Laowai, Song Laowu, and Peng Laizi fight for life and death, it is their ability, it depends on each person's fate.
Once the Chen family ends.
That means he broke the rules.
The two people behind Hu Bizhai and Huodong Temple will definitely not be able to sit still.
It won’t be a trivial matter then.
Maybe the entire Three Hunan and Four Rivers will be dragged into the war.
"This, Mr. Chen, Lao Luo didn't mean that. I, I just..."
Feeling the indifferent gaze sweeping towards me.
Luo Laowai felt a chill in his heart.
I was so scared that my clothes on my back were soaked with cold sweat. How dare you think too much and explain again and again.
But I couldn’t say one, two, or three, and my face turned the color of pig liver.
"Shuai Luo is so confused that he speaks indiscriminately, right?"
Just when Luo Laowai was so anxious and helpless.
A calm voice suddenly came.
His eyes suddenly lit up.
He nodded again and again.
"That's right, that's right, Shopkeeper Chen, I, Mr. Luo, just said the wrong thing. I definitely didn't mean it. Please check it out."
Looking at his relieved look.
Huamaguai, who was riding on horseback, couldn't help but sneer secretly.
This guy was treated like a dog by the shopkeeper.
Even grateful.
With this kind of brain, he can become famous, and he can write his name backwards.
"You don't have to worry about this."
"I will mention it to those two later..."
Chen Yulou was still talking slowly.
Mr. Luo's crooked grin reached behind his ears.
I am already thinking that with shopkeeper Chen’s help, he, Lao Luo, can survive for a while.
When the time comes to free up your hands, let the gang of bastards under you dig a few more graves.
As long as you have money.
Get another batch of foreign goods.
Grandma, are you still afraid that Song Laowu and Peng Laizi will join forces?
Knock their brains out.
He was still grinning happily.
Chen Yulou on the carriage changed the topic.
"However, Luo Shuai, this kind of thing is important. Face is earned by oneself, not given by others."
"Chen can help you for a while, but he cannot help you forever."
"How to do it, you don't need me to remind you again, right?"
The words were ambiguous and cloudy.
Luo Laowai originally had no thoughts about the city.
Now I was even more confused. I didn’t know what Shopkeeper Chen meant.
But it cannot be shown openly.
I can only hand over my hand, "Yes, yes, the shopkeeper said yes, I, Mr. Luo, have written it down."
"Okay, Chen has just returned and needs to rest. I won’t leave Luo Shuai to eat.”
Chen Yulou withdrew his gaze.
After saying a few words, he lowered the car curtain.
Kunlun, who was in charge of driving, did not waste any time. He pulled the reins and headed straight for Chenjiazhuang.
However.
Luo Laowai has not yet recovered his head.
Unconsciously, Chen Yulou glanced at Huamaguai calmly when he lowered the door curtain.
The latter is a personal genius.
It is not an exaggeration to say that I always have roundworms in my head and belly.
How could I not understand what he meant.
There is no rush to leave.
"Ah... no, shopkeeper Chen, I, Lao Luo, haven't finished speaking yet."
Wait for Luo Laowai to react.
The carriage was approaching Chenjiazhuang. How could he dare to catch up? He could only stand there in a daze.
Don’t know why.
He always felt that the shopkeeper Chen in front of him was different from his usual warmth.
You know, they are also worshiping with their heads on the ground.
He comes as usual.
Chen Yulou did not say the village to greet him, but he also greeted him with good wine and good food.
What you want is always to be satisfied as much as possible.
But today, from beginning to end, the indifference in his words and eyes made him uncomfortable.
In addition to the last sentence, he really couldn't figure out what Chen Yulou meant.
Looked around.
Luo Laowai's eyes suddenly lit up.
Immediately rushed to Huamaguai's side.
Took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Guaizi, are you tired? Come on, brother, there are good cigarettes here, foreign products, try it?"
"Luo Shuai, you...can't let the shopkeeper see you."
Huamaguai knew it well, but deliberately glanced at Chenjiazhuang.
“Don’t worry, it’s just a pack of cigarettes, it’s not a valuable thing.”
Luo Laowai chuckled.
I don’t care if I feel tired.
Normally, he would not look directly at Huamaguai.
After all, a servant of the Chen family is the boss of a big shopkeeper.
He knows better than anyone which weight is more important.
But today is different from the past.
I finally stopped Shopkeeper Chen, but he left before he finished speaking.
I can only fawn over him and wonder if I can get some news from Huamaguai.
"Luo Shuai is just polite."
Hua Maguai is smart, tactful, and will give up when he sees a good thing.
Jumping off the horse was a favor to Zuluo Laowai.
“Where.”
Mr. Luo waved his hand.
He is so impatient that he cannot hide his words at all.
I thought I was on the Huamaguai route, so I asked anxiously.
"Guaizi, you know that I, Mr. Luo, are stupid. Can you tell me what the big shopkeeper's last words mean?"
Hearing this, Huamaguai couldn't help but smile. laugh.
He slowly took out the cigarette case, shook out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
Luo Laowai took a look and quickly took out a fire and lit it for him.
"Guizi, brother, please don't hang on me, I, Lao Luo, really can't figure it out."
"Don't misunderstand the shopkeeper's intention, and end up spoiling the matter with your good intentions. ”
Seeing it whetted my appetite.
Huamaguai lowered his voice and said calmly.
"Luo Shuai, the shopkeeper is ordering you, can't you tell?"
"What?"
A simple sentence.
I almost scared Luo Laowai's seven souls out of his six souls.
He is now pointing at the Chen family.
Once you offend Chen Yulou, you will be meat on the chopping board.
With the methods of Song Laowu and Peng Laizi, why can't he eat all the bones and dregs?
“Hey, Luo Shuai, it’s not me who kidnaps you.”
“Whoever is the shopkeeper is the reincarnation of the Star King in the sky, with lofty ambitions that no one can figure out.”
"As his general, you are a spear, and you will be a figure who will sit firmly on the general stage in the future."
"If you can't even solve the two bandit leaders on the border of Xiangyin, what else will you do?" He took action personally, tsk tsk... You said the shopkeeper can have a good impression?"
"He can help you this time, but it will be difficult for Luo Shuai next time."
Hua. Maguai blew out the smoke and analyzed it softly.
He was neither fast nor slow, and his voice was calm.
But Luo Laowai on the side was frightened and his heart was filled with despair.
It turns out that the big shopkeeper had such great expectations for himself.
The result...
I was really annoyed by what I did.
Even he can't look past it.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart.
If I hadn’t asked the kidnapper, I would still have been kept in the dark, and I would have acted recklessly and recklessly as usual.
I’m afraid it’s really going to be over.
The big shopkeeper can lift him to where he is today.
You can support others.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Luo, I'm really enlightened now."
"It's just that I came here in a hurry. I will definitely treat Brother Guaizi to a good meal when I come back."
>Wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
Luo Laowai looked like he had just been fished out of the river.
He expressed his gratitude to Huamaguai.
"Okay, Luo Shuai is polite."
"I still have something to do with the kidnapper, so I won't send him off."
Putting out the cigarette butt, Huamaguai smiled faintly.
Then he got on his horse.
He rushed straight to Chenjiazhuang.
Keep watching him disappear.
A few of Luo Laowai’s close men came with him, and then they dared to slowly come closer.
One of them asked boldly.
"Luo Shuai, what do you think, shopkeeper Chen, can you get money and food?"
"If you mess with your mother, you have no hands or feet, right? She is a bunch of waste."
Luo Laowai didn't have a good temper towards them.
Bitou Hijab scolded him.
While cursing, he caught a glimpse of the team carrying the bright weapons passing by from the corner of his eye.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he immediately said viciously.
“Look at Brother Xieling, he can bring back hundreds of artifacts in just one trip.”
"Go back and send me an order to have all those bastards from the engineering camp, as long as they can still move, go out and dig graves for me to raise food and wages."
"Others, please be honest and don't cause trouble!"
