At the Qingsha Gang's banquet, Liu Shen seemed to be lost in the "massive" cheers, so he grabbed Qian Yousheng and drank...
With the recklessness of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers and his desperate drinking attitude, he just convinced Qian Yousheng, an experienced wine shop, to go down.
After Liu Shen built his momentum to its peak, he stood up and returned the toast one by one without waiting for a break.
Those who are fierce are afraid of those who are reckless, and those who are reckless are afraid of losing their lives...
This is a living example of wealth and promotion. When the drinkers saw that his head was steaming from drinking and his eyes were scarlet, but he was still holding a wine bowl to toast, they were frightened and repeatedly advised him to drink less.
After all, everyone is eating out of the same pot as Qingsha Bang. There will be banquets like this in the future...
Since Liu Shen's life-threatening drinking method can knock Qian Yousheng down, he can also knock them down, who wants to lose face in vain?
So in their minds, they had already labeled Liu Shen as a "silly young man" or a "Jiu Mengzi"...
Even Ning Hongwu, who has always regarded himself as "a thousand cups will never be poured out", often looked sideways when he saw this, and finally had to come forward to advise him to put his body first.
Liu Shen was in the limelight for a while...
After dinner...
Feng Jun helped him out...
When he returned to the entrance of the dock, seeing no one around, Liu Shen broke free from his support, staggered to the corner and clasped his throat, then vomited.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Feng Jun watched from the side and was speechless. He joked: "I thought you were a man who could never get drunk even if he drank a thousand glasses of wine. He had enough energy to drink a thousand glasses of wine. It turned out that he was able to hold on by force."
"ah…"
After Liu Shen finished vomiting, he felt inexplicably relaxed, as if the world had become much clearer. He said, "You may not believe it, but I have never drank before this."
"..."
Feng Jun was slightly stunned when he heard this, and scolded with a frown: "Nonsense, then you were drinking so desperately at the wine table just now?"
"It's just a moment of courage!"
Liu Shen took a long breath of relief and grinned: "Didn't you also see that Qian Youcai despised me at first and didn't take me seriously? Why don't others have the same intention?"
"The purpose of me taking that seat is to appease those who surrendered to the Chishui Gang. If the leader of the gang wants to buy horse bones for a thousand dollars, then I will be that horse bone!"
"I can't avoid wine..."
“A great man from my hometown once said, if you hit with one punch, you won’t get hit with a hundred punches!”
"If I remain timid, it will only make people look down upon me even more. I'm afraid I will be the one who gets shoved under the table."
"But as long as I drink with him desperately, make him fall down, and drink until he is afraid, who will dare to make me drink again after that? Who will dare to despise me again?"
"The purpose of my temporary bravery is to make them think of today when they drink with me in the future. I have to make them lose three points before they even pick up the wine bowl!"
"..."
Feng Jun looked at the meaning of his words with a dull expression. The more he thought about it, the more it made sense...
He looked at Liu Shen with slightly moved eyes, feeling more and more that the young man in front of him was not simple, whether it was courage, vision, or other things such as the overall situation, he was not simple!
It's a talent!
"Comfortable! Smooth!"
Liu Shen stretched and stretched his muscles, then waved his hands and walked to his room: "I'm going back to rest first."
"OK…"
Feng Jun saw that he was no longer swaying when walking, so he didn't say much. He just said: "Tomorrow, the dock work will return to normal. You are from the dock here, so you should be familiar with it. I may need your help then." Coordinate and appease the shops and laborers at the docks."
"Little things..."
Liu Shen stopped in front of the door, turned around and said with a smile: "You may not believe it, Hall Master Feng, but what I am best at is coordinating, as far as the dock work..."
His voice paused and he said rather arrogantly: "I can figure it out clearly with my eyes closed..."
After that, he opened the door and entered the room...
When Feng Jun heard this, he nodded thoughtfully. When he saw him closing the door, he muttered with a half-smile, "This kid is still a madman."
After he returned, he did not stay at the dock hall for a long time. Instead, he returned to the Qingsha Gang's headquarters hall, knocked on the door in front of the gang leader's room, and opened the door after receiving a response.
Ning Hongwu rubbed his brows with a rather tired expression. After seeing him come in, he asked, "Has the matter at the dock been taken care of?"
"No big problem..."
Feng Jun nodded and responded: "Everything that needs to be done has been ordered today, and the work at the dock will resume normal operation tomorrow."
"That's fine."
Ning Hongwu nodded slightly and sighed: "It's the beginning of spring again. Not to mention those merchants, just the fact that grain and tax money from various places have to go through the canal is enough to scare us. If the work at this dock is... If we don't handle it well, it will affect our foundation."
"You should be more cautious..."
Feng Jun echoed and said with some worry: "In recent years, the power of our Cao Gang leader has become more and more powerful in the world. I heard that it has attracted the attention of the Taisui Secretary of the imperial court. I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse..."
"Tu Xiong is a hero of his generation."
Ning Hongwu sighed: "In the past, small gangs like us along the canal were just lackeys in the eyes of local governments. When it was useful, we were asked to help supervise water transportation. When it was useless, they might treat us as water bandits and suppress us. ”
"Now that the Cao Gang is under the coordination of Tu Xiong, the hundreds of Jianghu gangs, large and small, are not monolithic, but they are no longer scattered. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, we have to take over!"
"Too…"
Feng Jun also knew that these things were beyond his control, so he changed the subject and said, "Gang leader, you still remember the boy named Liu Shen. He has a good mind, far beyond my expectation."
"oh?"
Ning Hongwu was surprised, thinking of the young man who had risked his life to drink at the banquet, and asked nonchalantly: "How much intelligence can a young and energetic Jiu Mengzi have?"
"No, no..."
Feng Jun shook his head and sighed, "I still had some doubts just now, but now that I hear that even the leader of the gang thinks he is just a young and energetic alcoholic, my doubts are gone."
After that, he recounted the conversation he had with Liu Shen today when he took him to the banquet, as well as the conversation he had just after helping him back to the dock entrance.
Ning Hongwu frowned and muttered: "So, I was deceived by that kid's performance?"
"yes…"
Feng Jun nodded and said, "If we just looked at his performance, who would have thought that an eighteen-year-old boy could see so clearly? Think so long-term?"
"good…"
Ning Hongwu nodded thoughtfully and said: "My sister said that this guy is a bit quick-witted. Now it seems that this guy is not only a bit quick-witted, but also has good vision, courage, and strategy..."
His voice paused and he came to the conclusion: "Meet him a little bit, he is a malleable talent!"
"You are still young after all."
Feng Jun agreed with a smile, and then seemed to think of something again, and also told what happened today between Liu Shen and the red-skinned duck.
"Hehehehe..."
Ning Hongwu also smiled knowingly when he heard this, and asked with interest and murmured: "Interesting, interesting, I never thought that this kid and our Qingsha Gang would have such a connection."
His voice paused, and then he said: "Just now, you said that boy once said that what he was best at was planning, and that he could figure out all the work at the dock with his eyes closed?"
"good."
Feng Jun nodded and said meaningfully: "The young man is still too young after all. If the gang leader wants to use him for his own use, he needs to polish off his arrogance, so as not to cultivate young people in the future. Here comes a madman who doesn’t know the heights of heaven and earth.”
"If you are really talented, what about the madman?"
When Ning Hongwu heard the name 'fanatic', he once again thought of the leader of the Cao Gang. According to rumors in the world, Tu Xiong was a famous fanatic when he was young!
Now that he is older and his cultivation is even more unfathomable, he has transformed from a 'madman' into a domineering hero and a powerful figure in the world!
He pondered for a while and said with a smile: "Everything is fine. I will go to the pier tomorrow morning to see how the wharf maniac who said I am only in my early thirties is doing the planning."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
