The night covered Manhattan, and the icy wind howled in the night sky. Li Yang was wrapped in a black coat and sat on the eaves of the villa. At this time, in his bedroom, Tian Gang was digesting half of the "Secret Book of Xuanwu" he had just accepted, and Li Yang came out not wanting to disturb him.
Li Yang just sat like this, he didn't want to think, and let his mind go blank, because of this, he felt no burden. The cold wind invaded Li Yang's whole body, but Li Yang didn't notice it. He looked up to the east, a feeling of nostalgia surrounded his heart, his younger brother who was fighting in the underworld, and his mother who lived alone in the mountain village. In the past, Li Yang went to see his mother, and her mother lived a life of abstinence, even though it was plain, Li Yang could feel at ease. But his younger brother, he couldn't let go of his younger brother.
In terms of mind and strategy, Li Yang is definitely not Li Shuo's opponent, but Li Shuo is alone in the underworld. Although he joined the Hong Gang, Li Yang is still worried about his younger brother. After all, it is too dangerous to lick blood on the knife edge.
…
domestic.
The Hong Gang has a long history and strict gang rules, and the leader and elders are undoubtedly at the top. The person with the most prestige in the Hong Gang is not the leader, but the elder who is over a hundred years old. The elder is about to retire and return to the countryside to enjoy the blessings, and the position of elder is suddenly vacant.
As for the next generation of the Hong Gang, there are only two people who are qualified and able to become elders: Li Shuo and Zeng Honggang.
If it weren't for the young age of the two, it is estimated that the achievements of the two would have made them elders long ago. Although the two did not become elders in the past, the two most important cities in China, Beijing and Shanghai, let them sit respectively. From this point, it can be seen that the Hong Gang attaches great importance to the two of them.
This time the position of elder was vacant. Compared with the two of them, the others were far from qualified. But there is only one position of elder, who is it for
The faction members who couldn't resolve the dispute finally decided to vote, and the hall masters and elders of each city's halls voted to decide.
"Azhi, on the list I gave you, did all the high-ranking members of the Hong Gang on it give gifts, and did they all accept it?" Zeng Honggang asked the young man in front of him. During this time, Zeng Honggang was both excited and nervous. The elders of the Hong clan, what a coveted position, and the leader of the Hong clan will also be selected among the elders in the future.
Although he was excited, he also started preparations in an orderly manner. His opponent was Li Shuo, a mafia genius who joined the gang at the age of sixteen and made great achievements. How dare Zeng Honggang take it lightly.
"Brother asked the brothers in charge of intelligence to analyze each of the elders and hall masters of the gang, judge who is more likely to win over, and then make a list for us. Then we gave gifts, and of course they accepted them. But some of our brothers had no intention I found out that some hall masters actually accepted gifts from Li Shuo after accepting our gifts, and the situation seems a bit bad!" The young man also frowned when he said this.
"Hmph, I know that, those guys want to have both sides, it's really whimsical, but now we have to rely on them! Hmph, I think Li Shuo is also having a headache now." Zeng Honggang suddenly had a gloomy look on his face. , "But I, Zeng Honggang, will not give the power of judgment to others. Azhi, the special team I have trained for so long should also work, and implement the 'beheading plan'!"
When Ah Zhi heard this, he was shocked and said: "Brother, this... this is to deal with members of the gang, but you will be punished with three knives and six holes, this..."
"Hmph!" Zeng Honggang glanced at Azhi coldly, and snorted coldly, but when Azhi heard it, his heart trembled immediately, and he began to regret what he said just now.
"Let Gangzi and you be responsible for this beheading operation!" Zeng Honggang originally asked his confidant, Azhi, to be responsible, but now he is a little worried. Ah Zhi immediately nodded in agreement. Of course, his elder brother knew that Zeng Honggang could kill even siblings without blinking an eye.
…
The general base of Hongbang is Yangzhou, Jiangsu.
Li Shuo flew to Nanjing, and then took a special car to Yangzhou.
On the expressway, cars are driving at high speed, and Li Shuo is closing his eyes to rest his mind. This gang meeting is very important to him. Once he becomes the elder of the gang, his rights will be greatly increased. Before, anyone who had the right to vote He almost analyzed all the hall masters and elders. Finally, through various means, try to gain the favor of the elders and hall masters.
"The idiot Zeng Honggang always thought that power and money are the most effective, but how did he know that sometimes feelings are also very important!" Li Shuo had a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
The car is a special bulletproof car, and the people in the car are all real masters, so the car is driving all the way like this.
Li Shuo kept his eyes closed all the time, and suddenly he opened his eyes suddenly with the sound of "嘎~~~" violent car brakes. At this time, a car in front of him suddenly braked violently, and the car he was riding in had no time to react and hit him hard. up.
"get off!"
When Li Shuo gave an order, the innate zhenqi in his body circulated, and his body flashed, and immediately passed through the window to the side of the highway. Several experts protecting him also rushed out one by one, but in the field beside the highway Someone had already ambushed.
Suppressed gun shooting! Under continuous shooting, more than half of Li Shuo's bodyguards were killed and injured, leaving only two, but they were also slightly injured.
Li Shuo's body flickered immediately, and the knife light in his hand flickered, and the flying knives shot directly at the enemy.
Romantic Swordsman!
"Bang!" "Bang!"...
The flying knife shot made the sound of steel hitting, and Li Shuo's face changed immediately: "It seems that Zeng Honggang knew about my brother because I know how to Xiao Li Feidao, and he has prepared steel plates made of special materials, hmph, but Am I only good at Xiao Li's flying knife?" Li Shuo's figure was strange, he stopped in an instant, accelerated in an instant, and the direction he was heading was also unpredictable, and he rushed in front of the enemy in just one breath.
Melee attack!
"Hoo hoo!" Li Shuo's palms attacked at an astonishing speed, as if turning into a thousand-armed Avalokitesvara, attacking dozens of masters in an instant.
But none of the enemies fell.
"Hmph, the people sent by Zeng Honggang are all masters. It seems that they are really going to make a killing move!" Li Shuo flashed his palms, and suddenly appeared in front of all the enemies like phantoms, and a faint white mist filled the air.
"Ugh!" A guy fell down in an instant, and one after another, other people who attacked Li Shuo also fell down one by one.
There was a gloomy smile on Li Shuo's face: "Zeng Honggang, you may not know that I, Li Shuo, are also masters of poisoning. Once the soul is broken, these third-level masters will lose their lives immediately!"
…
"Plan 1 failed, plan 2!"
"Gangzi, the first wave really failed. The elder brother's guess is really accurate. This Li Shuo is really amazing. He seems to use poison in the end. Hehe, he has both Xiao Li's flying knife and the ability to use poison. It’s really hidden.” A Zhi saw all this through an infrared telescope in a residential house. At the same time, an order was given to the second team through the electromagnetic microphone to execute the second plan.
Gangzi is also Zeng Honggang's confidant, but his mind is not flexible enough. So he is responsible for some simple things, but in terms of his own strength, Gangzi is better than Ah Zhi.
"If they can't solve it, I will do it myself!" Gangzi buzzed.
…
Li Shuo suddenly issued an order to his subordinates through the electromagnetic microphone in a low voice: "Chasing and killing the remnants!"
"Zeng Honggang, do you think I don't know that you will attack me? I guess this ambush is just the first wave. Someone must be secretly watching all of this. It's a pity that the special team I trained should find the rest of you."
About one mile away from Li Shuo, a member of the special team under Li Shuo looked at the equipment in the car, and finally made a judgment: "The first target: the direction is 37 degrees north by east, and there are houses in the 1350 meters away. The signal of the special electromagnetic microphone. The second target: the direction is 52 degrees to the east, and there is also a special electromagnetic microphone in the residential house at a distance of 2005 meters. It has been determined that there are 15 people in the first target, and the second target Four of the two targets."
"Attack!"
…
At this time, it was on the second floor of a teahouse in Yangzhou.
There were only a few people in the entire teahouse, but they were all older, and the youngest looked to be in their forties or fifties. However, there were luxury cars and rows of bodyguards underneath the teahouse, and ordinary people couldn't get close at all.
"Second elder, I don't know what the first elder is looking for us at this time?" A middle-aged man sighed to an old man in black next to him.
The old man in black said: "I don't know, but, fifth, the Great Elder asked us to come here, of course we have to come here, alas, after the election, the Great Elder will officially retire, and the big brother will retire like this. I’m not used to it.” The middle-aged man is the fifth elder of the Hong Gang, and there are six elders in the Hong Gang, this is a rule that has been passed down for thousands of years.
"That's right, the Great Elder has worked hard for my Hong Gang for nearly a hundred years. He was the one who presided over the overall situation when the Hong Gang was most in crisis. Now that he is retiring, the whole gang is reluctant to part with it. But the Great Elder is over a hundred years old, so it's time for him to rest. Brothers in the gang can't bear to let the first elder work hard all the time!" The fifth elder also sighed.
The prestige of the Great Elder in the Hong Gang has reached a peak, and the elders have always followed the lead of the Great Elder. The Great Elder couldn't make a choice between Li Shuo and Zeng Honggang. Li Shuo hadn't been a beginner for a long time, only about ten years, but he was deeply liked by the Great Elder. But Zeng Honggang is his eldest disciple, and he has made great achievements, and the elders have always valued him very much.
"Ahem..." With a coughing sound, the whole teahouse fell silent. The five elders and the current gang leader all looked towards the stairs. A white-haired old man in a white padded jacket walked in with a cane.
"Great Elder!"
Everyone bowed to the Great Elder, including the current leader. This gang leader is the nephew of the great elder, and the apprentice of the elder brother, but the elder brother died during the war. This gang leader was brought up by the elder, and the martial arts was also taught by the elder. The feelings are as deep as father and son.
"Everyone sit down!" The Great Elder said with a warm smile after sitting down.
Immediately, the other five elders took their seats, and the current gang leader sat next to the first elder.
"I'm looking for everyone today to talk about my retirement. When I retire, the position of elder will be vacated. Some time ago, I thought about it for a long time and didn't make a decision. After all, Ashuo and Hong Gang are my beloved disciples. And they are equally capable.”
As soon as the first elder said this, the third elder nodded and said: "Yes, the abilities of the two are obvious to all, but after all, Hong Gang has been in my Hong Gang for more than 20 years, so he has more seniority, while Ashuo has only been in the gang for ten years. , is too young, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!"
The Sixth Elder immediately retorted: "Third Elder, Ashuo joined my Hong Gang at the age of sixteen, and in the same year he completely wiped out the Ax Gang of the Shandong generation. The Ax Gang is a local gang. The roots are deep, and he made such great achievements at the age of sixteen, and he has been working hard for my Hong Gang for ten years, how can he be excluded because of lack of qualifications?"
The Fifth Elder stood up again and said: "..."
…
The elders began to quarrel with each other again. Obviously, these elders couldn't argue with the two juniors.
"Look at the tea!"
The first elder said calmly, and all the elders fell silent immediately, not daring to say another word, and the juniors of the gang behind hurriedly poured tea for the senior members of the Hong Gang.
"Stop arguing, I've already made a decision!" the Great Elder said suddenly.
The Great Elder’s voice was not loud, but everyone’s eyes widened in surprise. You know, it was because the Great Elder was undecided in the past that he was elected. The Hall Master at the entrance also rushed over, just for this election, and now the Great Elder actually said—he has made a decision!
The words of the Great Elder declared that all disputes are useless.
The other five elders and the current gang leader didn't complain at all. They all looked at the elder, hoping to know who the elder had chosen.
No matter who the Great Elder chooses, they will not have the slightest doubt or objection.
"I choose Asuo!"
The Great Elder announced his decision.
"Why did the Great Elder suddenly decide to choose Ashuo?" The third elder asked, and when he saw the other elders looking at him, he quickly explained, "No, I don't doubt the decision of the Great Elder, I'm just curious, just curious !" The Third Elder was already in a cold sweat at this time, just disrespecting the First Elder, it is estimated that his position of Elder would be removed.
The Great Elder smiled and said: "The reason why my Hong Gang can stand in the east, and no other gang dares to provoke it, is that there is another reason besides our own strength! I believe everyone should know."
The head of the Hong Gang nodded and said: "Uncle Shi is right. We, the Hong Gang and the Qing Gang, are of the same spirit. As the two super gangs of the Chinese, we support each other. No force in the world dares to provoke our two major Chinese gangs!"
The Great Elder nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, the reason why I chose Li Shuo is because the Supreme Elder of the Green Gang called me and told me that Li Shuo is his nephew."
The faces of the other elders changed immediately. The Supreme Elder of the Qing Gang is a legendary figure. As the elders of the Hong Gang, they are the upper echelons of the Hong Gang. They know that the Supreme Elder of the Qing Gang is the legendary cultivator.
"Since Li Shuo is the nephew of the Supreme Elder of the Green Gang, Li Shuo's background..." Immediately, the other elders understood why the Grand Elder chose Li Shuo.
