Qian Sheng, Wang Qiang, Fifth Brother and Bai Lu waited by the river all afternoon.
Still haven't received any news from Lin Yi.
Fifth Brother raised his wrist and glanced at the time, then put out the cigarette butt on the ground and stood up.
"It's time for us to leave. We still have an hour to go. We can't delay on the way."
Qian Sheng nodded, walked to the river, and patted Bai Lu on the shoulder.
"Let's go. They're still waiting for us to be called to court over there. Let Brother Qiang continue to guard here. If there's any news, we'll call you."
"Third brother, where do you think this underwater passage leads to?"
"Who can say this clearly? However, since Mr. Luo has said so, let's just wait and let's go."
The two of them walked back to the trail from the river. Wang Qiang was still sitting on a stool by the river. He rested his elbows on his knees and leaned forward. His bloodshot eyes were staring at the river, holding a cigarette butt. The fingers have been burnt brown.
In addition, he had stayed up all day and night, and he looked extremely haggard.
"Brother Qiang, let's leave first. It's up to you to keep an eye on this place. Take care of yourself."
Bai Lu said softly from behind.
Wang Qiang waved his hand without looking back.
"Let's go!"
"Why!"
Qian Sheng and Fifth Brother stepped forward, pressed Wang Qiang's shoulders, sighed, turned around and got in the car.
The car quickly disappeared from sight.
Wang Qiang took out his cell phone from his pocket, looked at the time, and looked through the chat history, text messages and incoming calls, fearing that he would miss any news source. Unfortunately, he still did not receive a reply from Lin Yi.
Fifth Brother's car drove very fast. He was very familiar with this area. He drove the car back to the main helm before the rush hour in Chengdu.
After driving into the parking lot of the community, the three of them sat in the car and called Bai and Luo.
"There's still no news from Dalinzi, is there? Then there's no need to panic. You guys go in first to have a look at the formation and listen to what those boys in the south want to do. Again, we have to hold on tight (hold on) , and let’s do some cooking (watch people order dishes).”
"The reason why they are playing this way is because they want to know what we have got in our hands, and they are holding our shortcomings.
It's a lie to prevent you from becoming apprentices, but it's true that they want us to work for them. The Feng family members always only look at the results, regardless of means. After dealing with their family for so many years, we have long been on guard against their tricks. Now we are not afraid to let you know. We will just go in later. We have plenty of back-ups. "
After hearing what the gentlemen said, the three of them finally felt relieved.
With the two of them taking action, their worries have been solved. Next, it depends on what kind of stage the southern faction will set up and what kind of show they want to sing.
Came to the door of this inconspicuous hotpot restaurant again.
A sign "Reserved today, closed for business" has been hung on the door.
The parking space on the side of the road not far away was actually filled with various luxury cars. Judging from the license plates, these cars came from various cities in Bashu.
"Everyone from all the halls is here, today's battle is going to be huge!"
Fifth Brother sighed in admiration and pushed Qian Sheng and Bai Lu open the door of the shop.
The whole hall on the first floor was already full of people. When they saw Fifth Brother coming in, they all stood up to greet him.
"Fifth brother!"
"Fifth brother, you're back!"
"Great job, fifth brother!"
This was the first time Qian Sheng and Bai Lu met in this situation. Even though Fifth Brother was with them, they were still a little uncomfortable.
Fifth Brother opened two packs of cigarettes in a row, and after they were scattered around, there were only a few left.
"Brothers, it's hard work. I haven't been able to see each other for a while. I miss you all a lot. You can eat and drink today. The food and wine are enough. If you have any requests, just ask. I still have some things to do. Please be patient, brothers. I will Three cups of fine!"
After that, he picked up the glass cup on the table, poured a full cup, and drank three cups in a row.
This cup is almost two ounces. When Fifth Brother raised his neck, he drank more than half a catty.
There were also bursts of cheers at the scene.
The fifth brother put down his wine glass, took Qian Sheng and they walked through the crowd and entered the second floor.
"All the brothers from the hall have arrived today. In the past, this was only possible on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year and the Second Master Guan's birthday. All the hall masters should have arrived. Please follow my arrangements when entering."
"Okay fifth brother, remember!"
Qian Sheng and Bai Lu followed Fifth Brother up the stairs.
After knocking on the security door, Zhao Laoer came up and saw that it was Brother Wu, and opened the door without saying a word.
Boss Zhao, who had followed the Southern faction before, also returned to his post.
"Fifth brother, thank you for your hard work!"
"Thank you, brother. These two are descendants of the Northern Sect, Qian Sheng and Bai Lu, whom I have met before."
Boss Zhao looked up and down and waved them in.
Today, the large second floor has also been carefully decorated.
There is a huge round table in the middle, and in the middle of the round table is a large copper pot. The pot is full of oil, with a few green onions and garlic sprouts floating in it.
The surrounding area is filled with various meat and vegetable ingredients, as well as a stack of black pottery wine bowls.
Many people were already seated at the banquet, chatting and laughing among themselves.
There were five empty seats at the main seat, and no one from the Southern faction showed up.
"I would like to introduce you to all the hall masters. This is Bai Lu, the granddaughter of Mr. Shouchen of the Baimen of the Kanyu Northern Sect. This is Qian Sheng, a disciple of the Baimen and Luomen. There are also two people who have matters at hand. It’s not finished and I couldn’t come over.”
"Dear hall masters, thank you for your hard work. It's my first time here at the precious treasure land. Please take care of me!"
After Qian Sheng finished speaking, he and Bai Lu raised their hands and circled to salute.
The other side returned the favor, and then the two of them sat down.
"Third brother, why do I feel like tonight is the Hongmen Banquet?"
Bai Lu covered it up with a tea bowl and whispered to Qian Sheng.
"Hey, this is someone else's territory. I've taken care of the affairs of our northern and southern factions. Putting up such a big battle shows that they value us. As for whether anyone will 'dance the sword' later, let's take it one step at a time."
The fifth brother settled the two people here and walked into the largest master room. Through the crack in the door, Qian Sheng saw that there was a lot of people inside, full of guests, and smoke.
Mr. Chen was sitting in front of the tea table. Opposite him were three middle-aged men of his age, and a young Taoist in a plain robe with a bun on his head.
"Isn't this Zhang Jiren, Taoist Master Zhang? Why are you sitting in the back room?"
Qian Sheng wanted to take another look, but the door was already closed.
Could it be that they have a deeper relationship with Mr. Chen and the core hall leaders, or have Mr. Chen and the others been bribed?
Thinking of this, Qian Sheng quickly took out his mobile phone and posted what he saw to the group.
Not long after, the two Bai Luo sent messages almost at the same time, with four words on them: Be patient and don't be impatient.
Qian Sheng glanced down and pushed the phone to Bai Lu.
Suddenly, the phone screen lit up again, and a message came from Lin Yi's avatar:
"Everything will be done according to Sir's arrangements, please be patient!"
