The four major alliances began to fight back, and the melee finally began.
The advantage of the early raid has laid a good foundation for eliminating the struggle abroad. Snake Fang was beaten so hard that he could not condense his strength; Tarantula had to be distracted to deal with joint offensives at home and abroad, and the counterattack appeared to be very weak; Meridian still had the strength to fight, but because Meng Qing still wanted to preserve his business as much as possible, he fought. Tie your hands and feet; Qianye is the hardest piece of bone to chew, and Mie simply sent the most important force to move it from the very beginning.
Under the reckless onslaught, Serpent’s Fang and Tarantula quickly became a very obvious weakness of the alliance, especially Serpent’s Fang. It was only half a month since it was beaten, the foreign influence network collapsed, and all business was destroyed. Waste. The tarantula followed closely, and the foreign network of influence was faltering. When the domestic and foreign powers could not be balanced, Lu Shan had to make the decision to protect the whole country as much as possible, simply abandoning all foreign power and interests, and consolidating power.
Yuan Peng was frightened and yelled at Lu Shan at the meeting: "You actually withdrew directly, do you want to leave everyone behind as deserters?"
"It's better to be a deserter than to die here. I can't let the little business outside affect my foundation!" Lushan slapped the table and shouted back, not letting it go.
Meng Qing was in no mood this time to persuade them not to quarrel, and sat aside with a calm face, letting them roar and roar, not knowing what they were thinking.
In the end, Qi Yun interrupted the dispute between Lu Shan and Yuan Peng. After pacifying each other, he said to Meng Qing: "Lao Meng, the foundation of Snake Tooth itself is not stable, and tarantulas have to take care of the domestic market. Now they can fight abroad. , It’s just you and me. Don’t worry about those businesses anymore. Lian Jun gave up everything to fight with us. We can’t fight him if we don’t use all our strength."
How could Meng Qing not understand this truth, he was not reconciled! Wumen has been developing steadily for so many years, and finally got to its current position. With the current scale, he can't make him give up foreign interests and turf and kill him all at once.
"Jun Lian is indeed too smart. He let the unsteady snake's teeth swallow the benefits, and killed the important senior of the tarantula with a slanting sword, forcing the tarantula to be distracted and worry about the country, and he also used business to hold you back... Four of us Home, unexpectedly, three houses were arranged all at once. Mie really cannot be one-to-four, but one-to-two, or one-to-three is required. In the case of abandoning everything, it can indeed fight together." Qi Yun was still talking. , The tone is not rushing, calm as if he was not beaten up, "Lu Shan is right, we should not act rashly before, should not venture into it, or even take the initiative to eat away the business."
Meng Qing was very irritable and couldn't help but said, "Are you here to put a high hat on Lian Jun to boost the morale of the enemy? He is really smart, but he is just a lame!"
Lu Shan almost couldn't help rolling her eyes, what happened to the lame, the lame is better than you!
"Qi Yun, what do you want to do? Everyone is not here to listen to you praise Lianjun! Overseas, we are struggling to win, and you may not be able to win Lianjun. Don't underestimate everyone!" Yuan Peng also opened. Speaking, the attitude is terrible.
"I want you to calm down." Qi Yun didn't get angry when he was so stunned. He took a sip of tea from the teacup and said slowly, "Lian Jun wants to drag everyone to die together. He did this. With official instructions, we can't win this battle abroad. Lu Shan's approach is the most correct. What we should worry about most now is the domestic."
Lu Shan's heart moved, she turned her head to look at him, but she agreed with her on her face, and said, "Actually, as far as I know, if Lian Jun really hits the attention of going to hell with everyone, then it's up to us. When focusing on foreign countries, he is likely to suddenly start a war at home. Everyone thinks carefully, is it important that those strongholds and business networks in foreign countries that can be rebuilt at any time are important, or the domestic foundation?"
Meng Qing and Yuan Peng were shocked when they heard that, they suppressed their emotions and started thinking calmly.
Qi Yun glanced at Lu Shan, and said admiringly: "Yes, that's the truth."
"Then we won't fight abroad? Let's go back to China directly?" Yuan Peng asked.
Qi Yun shook his head: "No, we want to fight. We have to create an illusion for Lian Jun that we are still paying attention to foreign countries, and then gather strength in the country, just like this raid to destroy us, we are caught off guard! The foundation is very difficult for us. It’s important, why is it not for Mie?"
Meng Qing couldn't help but sat up straight.
Qi Yun glanced at the crowd and asked, "Do you want to fight?"
Meng Qing was the first to make a final decision, and said with a calm face: "Fight! In any case, the destruction must be dispersed!"
…
"Wumen has begun to let go of counterattack." Gua Yi reported, frowning, "Gua San alone is leading the situation in foreign countries. Wouldn't it be too difficult?"
Lian Jun pointed his finger on the desktop and said, "Let him not have to work too hard. If you give up, then give up. Use the resources as you want. If necessary, you can ask the official to transfer personnel. Zhang Zhuoyuan will give it. Where is the hexagram seven?"
Gua Yi tightened his fingers, and replied: "I have arrived in the country."
"Let him go to the V province, the base camp of Snake Tooth, to lie in wait." Lian Jun ordered, glanced at the calendar, and said, "Before or after the year, you and Gua Er pick a date."
Finally, when the day came, Gua made a sullen face and couldn't help saying: "Master Jun, let me stay with you."
Lian Jun shook his head and said, "Gua One, the domestic melee may start at any time. Zhang Zhuoyuan has already made a small move. You and Gua Two must evacuate as soon as possible, otherwise they won't be able to leave."
"If you can't go, don't go!" Gua Yi stepped forward and said firmly, "Master Jun, let me follow you!"
"Gua Yi!" Lian Jun said with a deep expression, "This is an order!"
Gua Yi shook his body, unwillingly clenched his fists, took a step back, for a long time, bowed his head and replied: "Yes."
Lian Jun calmed down his expression and added: "Let Gua Sixth also prepare, and the following Gua Eleven... This year's reunion dinner, everyone should eat in advance."
Gua Yi should be yes again, never lifting his head again.
…
Li Jiuzheng came to the resort village half a month before the Chinese New Year, and Gua Er personally picked him up. After seeing Shi Jin, Li Jiuzheng immediately stepped forward and hugged him, burying his face on his shoulder.
Shi Jin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled back and hugged him, patted him on the back, and asked, "Is the hospital busy? It's troublesome for you to come here."
"No." Li Jiuzheng shook his head, slowly let go of him, looked at his face carefully, frowned, "You are thinner."
"Really." Shijin raised his hand and touched his face, smiling so that his eyes were bent, "Be thinner, so that you don't eat too well during the New Year, and you will become a pig and be laughed at by friends when you go back to school."
Li Jiuzheng's brows became tighter, and he raised his hand to touch the corner of his cocked mouth, tightening his lips without speaking.
There was one more person, and the small building finally became a little more lively. Everyone made preparations for the upcoming New Year. Those who were busy every day had no time to think about it.
When he was young, Shijin hung a big peace knot in front of the small building and stood there for a long time.
It's ups and downs outside, but there is a lot of joy in the small building.
At the twenty-seventh year of the year, Rong Zhouzhong suddenly came to the villa and had an early reunion dinner when he stubbornly pulled in. During the meal, he called Xiang Aoting, Fei Yujing, and Shi Weichong one by one to make a video call. Everyone laughed and talked across the screen, and there was a vague taste of reunion.
After almost a year, Shi Jin finally saw Shi Weichong again. When talking to the other party, he kept staring at the progress bar carefully, seeing that the progress bar did not drop, he was a little relieved. Shi Weichong realized that he was absent-minded, thinking that he still couldn't accept himself, his eyes dimmed for a moment, and his words gradually disappeared.
…
On the 30th day of the new year, Lian Jun and Zhang Zhuoyuan had a quarrel. Zhang Zhuoyuan provoked it first. He felt that Lian Jun’s subordinates died too strangely and quickly one by one, and thought there was a problem.
Lian Jun’s eyebrows were full of coldness, and he said, “Director Zhang, don’t you feel ashamed when you say this? What impact will they have on you? I’m not going to help you disturb the mid-gate Chiba. Foreign business, still bite you in reverse?"
Zhang Zhuoyuan defended: "I didn't mean that. In the agreement we made at the beginning, there was no—"
"I have it now." Lian Jun interrupted him in a deep voice, with a threat, "You know how many things my subordinates have done for you for so many years. Zhang Zhuoyuan, I am not afraid to tear my face with you, don't I think that the situation is now stable on your side. If I withdraw, I promise you will be empty-handed this time! Wumen and Chiba will only give you more headaches than the current situation!"
It was the first time that Zhang Zhuoyuan saw him lose his temper so obviously, he was directly shocked, and said in a little softened tone: "I am not going to tear my face with you, but I have to know the movements of your subordinates. They have special identities. I asked for it, I only have..."
"Then you let your top contact me." Lian Jun interrupted him again, in a cold tone, "Also, where is the movement of the dead! Do you want to find the whereabouts of Gua Fifth and their whereabouts? Yes, Gua Fifth died in the sea. Gua Ba and Gua Shi didn't even have a whole body. Gua Jiu was shot and killed by a tarantula, and the body was buried on the spot. You can go to them and see if they will respond to you!"
Zhang Zhuoyuan had a headache and said, "Lian Jun, you..."
"I want someone." Lian Jun suddenly faded again.
Zhang Zhuoyuan frowned: "What?"
"The situation abroad has not been able to last for too long. If I guess it is correct, the four organizations allied will soon organize an offensive in the country and kill one by surprise. All the people I stay in the country have not been affected by human lives. The low-level people of, they have been doing business honestly and earning clean money these years, and they are more disciplined than all the ordinary people you protect. I will not let them die. You call me, I am helping you clean up the country The environment, it’s impossible to let me do my best."
Zhang Zhuoyuan was shocked, and his voice suddenly raised: "What makes you stay in the country are the low-level personnel who have not been exposed to human life and evil. Where did your high-level and middle-level personnel go? Did you put them—"
"They are all abroad and died on the front line." For this reason, Lian Jun didn't care about telling him something, and said coldly, "Zhang Zhuoyuan, don't think about settle accounts with me after the autumn. You promised my terms at the beginning. From now on, I want you to do it one by one. It is what you promised to give my subordinates a chance to re-behave, so from now on, all the'dead' people, you'd better not pursue them anymore! I put it here, foreign officials don’t intervene, so I will bear it all by myself, but at home, if you don’t assign someone to me, then I will have no power to fight me at home. Wait for everyone to die together!" Up the phone.
"What do you mean? Lian Jun, Lian—" Zhang Zhuoyuan listened to the beep in his ear, put down his phone, slammed the table hard, and cursed, "He actually played this trick first, damn it!"
…
In the dead silence in the study, Lian Jun looked at the Gua 1 and Gua 2 who stood silently behind the desk, and said: "Zhang Zhuoyuan dares to question me so directly. He should have moved his mind. You will leave tonight."
"Jun Shao..." Gua Er frowned, and wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Gua 1.
Gua 1 held the shoulders of Gua 2 and asked, "What do you need us to do?"
Lian Jun looked at them and only said two words: "alive."
…
As the bell rang for the New Year's Eve, Shi Jin glanced at the direction of the second floor and tightened the blanket he was wrapped tightly.
"Why the third brother's show hasn't started yet, it's too slow." Li Jiuzheng frowned, brought the peeled nuts to Shijin, and asked, "Are you sleepy? Don't wait, go back to your room and sleep."
Shi Jin shook his head, took a nut and ate one, watching the people on TV celebrating the arrival of the new year, and said vaguely, "Wait, it's coming soon."
After half an hour, they finally waited for Rong Zhouzhong's single-player show. The two watched the show without enthusiasm, commented a few words in disgust, and then turned off the TV.
Lian Jun just came out of the study, went downstairs and came in behind him, touched his head, and said, "It's too late, go to sleep."
Shi Jin glanced at the stairs, did not see the figures of Gua 1 and Gua 2, his hands shrunk in the blanket tightly, then smiled and lifted the blanket to stand up and said, "Then go to sleep, fifth brother, go to bed too. Okay, good night."
Li Jiuzheng stood up, took a look at the corner of his raised mouth, stepped forward to hug him, and turned back to his room.
…
After four o'clock in the morning, Shijin's hearing was amplified, and finally heard a little noise.
The sound of opening and closing doors, the sound of the luggage being dragged, the sound of footsteps... Then the faint sound of unlocking the car, the sound of driving the trunk, the sound of putting the luggage, the sound of pulling the door... The last thing came from the car. sound.
"I actually left like this, and didn't even say goodbye."
It's the voice of Gua Er.
"Drive, it's going to dawn."
Then there was the voice of Gua Yi.
It was late at night, and after the sound of tires rubbing against the ground, everything returned to quiet, as if nothing had happened.
Shi Jin closed his eyes, hugged Lian Jun's waist tightly, and buried his face on his chest. Lian Jun seemed to be asleep, or not, slightly tightening the arms that held him.
The next morning, everyone naturally didn't see the figures of Gua 1 and Gua 2 in the small building, and no one mentioned them. Everyone talked about other topics tacitly, as if Gua 1 and Gua 2 had never existed.
Lian Jun was rarely busy this day. Together with Li Jiuzheng, he accompanied Shijin to play three-person mahjong for a day.
Later in the day, Zhang Zhuoyuan called Lian Jun. This time the two did not quarrel anymore, and talked about business in peace. Later, Liu Zhenjun also called Lian Jun.
Three days later, the news of Gua San's death came. He was severely injured by a stray bullet in a head-on confrontation between Mei and Chiba and died. At the same time, conflicts between violent organizations broke out across the country, casting a bloody shadow over the New Year of the year.
…
No one in Meng Qing and others expected that Mie would be able to withstand their first wave of domestic raids.
"How is it possible? How did Lian Jun manage that kind of staffing." Lu Shan was puzzled. "We dragged so many people abroad, and I was pestering some people in G and Bao. Island, the staffing in other areas should not be so adequate, which is strange."
Meng Qing couldn't figure it out, and said: "And those people are too well-trained... But one thing is for sure, Lian Jun must have been prepared for our domestic raid. He is too smart, so he thought of it. Inside of us..." After finishing speaking, I glanced at the people, the meaning of their eyes was not good.
The other three were frowned upon, and Lu Shan, who had been suspected once, even sneered and said, "Meng Qing, you have committed an old problem again? This is the most important thing, what do you want to do to provoke everyone's relationship?"
Qi Yun came out to make a round and said, "Okay, don't make a noise, Lao Meng, it doesn't make sense to say this now."
Meng Qing glanced at him, but did not speak.
The atmosphere of the meeting has become dull. Now that the fighting abroad has reached the most intense time, the domestic fighting has also kicked off. Everyone has a knife hanging on their heads, and the mood is inevitably impetuous.
The phone ringing suddenly rang, and the four looked at each other, and finally Meng Qing frowned and took out his mobile phone.
A minute later, Meng Qing stood up in disbelief and shouted at the phone: "What? All the forces that killed off abroad have been disbanded? Are the strongholds empty?"
Not knowing what was coming back over there, Meng Qing suddenly cursed a damn sentence, hung up the phone and looked at everyone, and said, "We are in the middle again!"
"What do you mean?" Yuan Peng asked quickly.
"Jun Lian didn't even think about fighting with us abroad! After the death of Gua San, all the counterattacks we organized were all rushed, and the people who were killed seemed to have been prepared long ago, and disappeared in a day's work. Trace, now all of Mie's strongholds abroad have become empty shells! The situation is not right. With our domestic offensive, Gua San died, and then Mie's stronghold was empty. This is obviously a trap!" Meng Qing snarled.
"What—" Qi Yun couldn't believe it, then suddenly realized something, and said, "Zhang Zhuoyuan!"
Lu Shan was confused and anxious: "What? What the hell is going on? Why is Zhang Zhuoyuan mentioned again? Lian Jun's foreign power is completely dispersed, where is it? He returned home in secret?"
"No." Qi Yun replied, cold sweat faintly oozing from his forehead, "It turned out to be like this, this is Lian Jun's purpose..."
"What is the purpose? You speak clearly!" Yuan Peng couldn't help urging.
Qi Yun glanced at the people and said: "We have ignored one person-Zhang Zhuoyuan! It doesn't matter how we toss in foreign countries, but in China, we are still a legal violent organization bound by the government. Once we do too much in the country, the official There is a reason to move us. This is Lian Jun’s attention. He wants to force us to do it in the country together... He also cut off our escape from abroad, and first distracted our foreign influence. ." And he encouraged everyone to drill together for this complete set.
After losing, he lost to Lian Jun again.
Everyone was quiet when they heard the words, and then all their backs were cold, and the back of their necks even felt the coolness of the blade pressing down.
"I'm going to kill him!" Meng Qing gritted his teeth and said with a deep expression.
"Jun Lian is indeed an official lackey." Yuan Peng's eyes were full of killing intent.
Lu Shan collapsed a bit, raised her hand and held her forehead and said, "From the time when we antagonized Mie, we stepped on traps when we retreated, and we stepped on traps when we stepped in. Active attacks are bound to fall into pits, and guard against being passively beaten... I really can't play with Lian Jun."
Qi Yun suddenly said: "We have to negotiate with Lian Jun. Taking advantage of the fact that the domestic fighting has not yet become fierce, Lian Jun has not dragged everyone to death."
"What?!" The three of them said in unison, looking at him together.
"Negotiating... and then seeking peace. Until now, unless Mie takes the initiative to stop the offensive, we have only a dead end." Qi Yun gritted his teeth and said, "Push someone out. If you don't want to go, then I will go!"
"No!" Meng Qing directly vetoed, and said bitterly, "The big deal is that everyone will not be mixed in the country in the future, Lian Jun must die!"
Qi Yun looked at him and said in a deep voice: "We have messed up business and power in various regions abroad during this period. Without our domestic foundation, we are targeted and killed wherever we go, Meng Qing, This is not the time to get angry."
"Let Lu Shan go to the negotiation." Yuan Peng said suddenly, and actually laughed, "Mie and Tarantula have the greatest hatred. The enemy's submission should make Lian Jun feel more comfortable, and Lu Shan is still a woman. Tempered, he shouldn't be too much to an older woman."
Lu Shan was shocked, slapped the table and said angrily: "Yuan Peng, you are looking for death!"
"This is also for the sake of everyone." Yuan Peng met her gaze without fear, shrugging his shoulders and said, "Everyone is allies, aren't they?"
Meng Qing's thoughts turned, his gaze swept between the two of them, and he said, "Then Lu Shan will go."
Lu Shan couldn't believe it: "Meng Qing, how come you are—"
"I also think it's more appropriate for Lu Shan to go." Qi Yun also opened his mouth, looking at Lu Shan, his tone slowly, "Now among the four of us, tarantulas are in the most difficult situation. If you go to negotiate, it is indeed even more difficult. Persuasive."
Lu Shan was angry and sneered. He scanned them with a sneer, nodded, and said, "You have one mind now. Okay, I'll be this fire extinguisher and cannon fodder. Meng Qing, Qi Yun, Yuan Peng, you have to remember well. Live what you said today!" After speaking, he hung up the call.
The three of them were quiet for a while, then Meng Qing constricted his expression and leaned back in the chair, and said, "Yuan Peng, give you the tarantula meat, you should be able to stabilize it."
Yuan Peng smiled satisfied and said, "That's natural. I only hope that Lu Shan, the test stone, can experiment with more things and buy us more preparation time."
"Get ready." Qi Yun frowned slightly, not as good as their mood, "Next is a tough battle." They might not be able to retreat after selling a tarantula.
