Chapter 486 Fate and Dark Dandao's Suggestion

Is life like a play, or is play like life?Many people have confused reality with drama, and can't tell which is drama and which is the real self.

Putting on a mask is like being an actor, wearing different masks in front of different people, some are modest, noble, proud, kind, and hateful... Often when the mask is taken off in the end, the mask is still on the face .

But in life, who doesn't wear a mask to be a human being?
11 always wears a mask of indifference, but what kind of 11 is underneath the mask?The old man is very curious about what kind of role 11 will play in the upcoming play.Is it a knight?hero?Or a passerby who has nothing to do with himself?
Originally, this was none of his business, and he didn't bother to care about it.But he felt that it was necessary to observe 11 carefully through this matter. He wanted to know what kind of heart was hidden under this indifferent mask, and this matter would determine whether 11 would be the one worthy of his entrustment. people.Perhaps this matter is nothing more than a trivial matter to 11, but to the old man it is the biggest wish in his remaining life.

At around 07:30 in the evening, students from the Department of Literature of Beijing Shou University began to come one after another, and the operation of the bar also began to be busy.These students were either invited to dance on the dance floor, or sat around the bar to drink, or chatted together, and the atmosphere became lively.Few people noticed that there were two people, one old and one young, sitting in an inconspicuous position on the second floor, but even if someone noticed, they would not take them to heart.

The old man and 11 have been sitting here for half an hour, both of them have not touched a drop of alcohol, just talking in a very low voice.As for the content of their speech, because both of them deliberately lowered their voices, no one except themselves could hear what they were saying, and no one would be interested in what they said.

"Have you heard of the Eight Great Young Masters of the capital?" The old man lifted his chin to Xu Ziyang, who was busy greeting visitors downstairs, and said, "His name is Xu Ziyang, and he is one of the Eight Great Young Masters of the capital."

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly sneered and said, "What kind of bullshit are the eight young masters in the capital? They are simply eight bastards who rely on their family backgrounds to do evil everywhere."

It's no wonder that the old man's tone is so disgusting, he has never had a good impression of the children of the aristocratic family.

11 was watching Xu Ziyang with his neck tilted. He knew this person, his life experience and background.When he was still fighting Blood Rose, Kuang Tide once gave him news that a person named Xu Ziyang had been having trouble with Ruan Qingyu for more than half a year, and secretly ordered her to fire all her jobs, among which only one publishing house was unwilling After being threatened, Xu Ziyang ordered the Eagle Gang to smash the publishing house. Afterwards, the owner of the publishing house had no choice but to break off the publishing contract with Ruan Qingyu when he had nowhere to ask for help.What Xu Ziyang did even more was that he didn't even let Ruan Qingyu's mother go. Now both mother and daughter are looking for jobs to make ends meet every day, but none of them dare to hire them again. Tian must find an excuse to let them go.

Originally, there was a doctor named Zhang Yuan helping the mother and daughter, but now even Zhang Yuan couldn't protect himself.Zhang Yuan once introduced Ruan Qingyu to play the piano at his friend's new teahouse. Immediately the next day, a large group of hooligans came over to make trouble. smashed.Afterwards, the police have been perfunctory. It was not until Zhang Yuan revealed his father's identity that the police quickly arrested a few hooligans who made trouble.At this point, Zhang Yuan knew that his opponent, who had never shown himself before, was far superior to him in terms of life experience and background.However, the matter was not over yet. Not long after, Zhang Yuan's No. [-] Hospital began to receive complaints from patients, and most of them were aimed at Zhang Yuan. If Zhang Yuan's father was not Wei Tianshi If the second-in-command has been running errands to help him with his work, Zhang Yuan's career as a doctor may have come to an end.

And Zhang Yuan still doesn't know who the people targeting Ruan Qingyu and him are. He can only guess that the other party's background and influence are so powerful that even his father, the second-in-command of Weitian City, is not in his eyes.But 11 knew that Xu Ziyang downstairs was behind all of this. His purpose of doing this was just to smooth out the edges and corners of Ruan Qingyu, and let her climb up to Young Master Yang obediently like a manipulated puppet. on the bed.

Next to him, the old man continued to explain: "Xu Ziyang's father is the Secretary of the State Council's Political Affairs Office, and does clerical work. His mother is the daughter of the patriarch of the Wang family. The most remarkable thing is his grandfather, who is the chief of the Longguo Chengchuan Military Region. Commander, Xu Qian with the rank of general. Uh, if you don’t know Xu Qian, you must have heard of Xu Daqiang.”

Xu Qian is General Xu, except that he is called General Xu Qian in news reports, no matter outside or in the army, everyone calls him Xu Daqiang or Commander Xu.Xu Daqiang was an artilleryman when he was a young soldier, and he dragged the cannon around all day long. He joked to his comrades that this was his big gun.After that, I don't know who called him Xu Daqiang first. After a long time, everyone called him Xu Daqiang, but few people remembered his real name.After he took the position of commander, everyone outside knew that there was General Xu Daqiang, but few people remembered General Xu Qian.

Speaking of which, Ouyang Bo was born in Xu Qian's army. Xu Qian liked Ouyang Bo's military and leadership skills very much, so he promoted him single-handedly.In just a few years under Xu Qian's command, Ouyang Bo was able to quickly climb from a lieutenant-level officer to a colonel-level officer. Apart from his own efforts, Xu Qian also contributed a lot.

Originally, the relationship between Ouyang Bo and Xu Qian should be very harmonious, but things backfired. Ouyang Bo's integrity was already well received in the army, and after he won two more battles under his leadership, Ouyang Bo's reputation in the army It started to flourish day by day, which aroused Xu Qian's suspicion.No matter which dynasty they were in, it was taboo to be an official with high meritorious deeds. Unfortunately, Ouyang Bo was a young man who didn't know how to restrain himself. In the end, Xu Qian found an excuse and was transferred to the third army. Only then did the relationship between the two become more and more serious. estranged.At that time, Ouyang Bo was only a colonel-level military officer.At that time, Xu Qian never imagined that Ouyang Bo would one day be able to climb up to the position of commander-in-chief of the third army with his own efforts and military achievements, and even be awarded the rank of general after many years, and finally be able to sit on an equal footing with him , which no one expected.

Although these materials had been collected several years ago, at this moment he still listened to the old man's dictation in silence.

The old man felt his mouth dry after talking for a while, took a sip of water and continued: "Although Xu Daqiang is far away in Chengchuan, he can still influence the military circles in the capital. In addition, the third army is stationed in the capital. Ouyang Bo of the Three Armies was once an official under Xu Daqiang, so now the capital, whether it is the military or the government, more or less wants to sell Xu Daqiang's face. That is why his grandson, well, it is Xu Ziyang who is here The capital is running rampant. If he hadn't had a 'good' grandfather and the Wang family behind his mother, hmph, this kid would have died a thousand times long ago with his arrogant nature."

11 Continued to observe Xu Ziyang with a spring breeze on his face, and said lightly: "You didn't ask me to come just for this, did you?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Why is Xu Ziyang able to run amok in the capital? Power! He borrowed his grandfather's power, Ouyang Bo's power, and the Wang family's power. With such a complicated relationship as a backer, who would I don’t even dare to do anything to him. What about you? How much power can you borrow? How many people will be willing to jump out to help you when you really have a crisis?”

The old man went around and brought the topic back to 11 again.After being silent for a while, the old man continued: "Dragon Soul is a very good power, but you can't use it for a long time. If your feet are deep in the mud, you can't help yourself if you want to twitch your feet again. The two powers of big circle and fate are also good. , It's a pity that with your current status and face, you still can't take advantage of their power. What about Ouyang Bo? Don't look at this person's integrity on the surface, but in fact he has deep secrets in the city, even though you saved his son and daughter , but the most he can give you in return is to help you say a few words, if you really cause something big, he will never be the one who jumps out to help you."

11 turned his gaze back to the old man, and said, "In the final analysis, what you mean is to make me create my own momentum."

"Yes." The old man nodded solemnly.

"Those who want to make money, do you think I can gather wealth that is incomparable in a short period of time?"

Finally, a tricky smile appeared on the old man's face, and he said, "You don't have it, but I do."

11 glanced at him and said, "Just your property of several million coal coins? Save it."

As the old man said before, checking 11 for him is as easy as checking him for 11.How much liquid capital and fixed property he has in his hands, 11 has already found out clearly, so he said that he only has a few million coal coins in property.

"Money, you can't bring it into the coffin. Although my little money is not much, it is more than enough to give you the bottom line. Relying on your status as the Dragon Soul is in the dark, the State Council is in the Ming Dynasty, and through Ouyang's family Let's go to the relationship between Ouyang Bo, the little girl, and the girl from the Wen family and her father, that Wen Qiang also has a huge amount of money to inject, and you have a good relationship with the Long family. You see, there is such a huge network of relationships, The amount of money you can invest in the initial stage is very huge." The old man said with some bitterness: "You, it is a waste to put so many resources aside and not use them properly. A person can't just think about fighting and killing all day long. Make plans for your future."

11 There is a little heartbeat, and only a little bit.For a long time, the term money was nothing more than a constantly changing number in his mind, without any other meaning.But when you are really struggling, you will find that money is really important.As the old man said, he is surrounded by enemies now, with countless pairs of eyes watching his every move, and everyone wants to take his head off when he is not paying attention.If you want to protect yourself, you must first arm yourself to the teeth.How to arm?Build momentum, recruit troops, and when he has a certain degree of influence and strength, he will not be afraid of challenges from any party.If you only rely on the few people in the Dark Cross today, who can you compete with?big circle?It's okay to kill a few people. It's really a crowd tactic with the big circle. The Dark Cross is not enough for people to bite their teeth.devil?Not to mention, it is a super-large underground organization that has been maintained for nearly a hundred years, and it cannot be moved by a few small ants.But Chu Hailan had to avenge her revenge. To take revenge, she had to face the devil, and to face the devil, she had to at least have the strength to make them face it squarely.Where does this strength come from?In the final analysis, it is still a word, money.

11 Maybe he didn't face up to this issue, but today he was moved to the stage by the old man, and he was indeed a little moved by what the old man said.

Money is indeed a good thing, it can fill you up, it can buy you anything you want, it can buy your life back, and it can buy someone else's life.What is the purpose of their Dark Cross undertaking employment and killing work?Also money.

The old man didn't interrupt 11's train of thought, and watched 11 quietly while drinking water one by one.

At this moment, the mobile phone rang suddenly, and the old man frowned, took out his mobile phone and looked at it.When he saw the caller ID, his frowning brows relaxed, and he picked up the phone with a little smile on his face and said, "Siyu, are you here? Oh, I'm not in the hotel, I'm outside. I'm in In a bar... Oh, why can't I be in a bar? The old man can't go to a bar? Well, I don't mean to blame you. Are you coming? ... I'm fine, I just hang out when I have nothing to do, Ask a friend to chat. Oh, you know the person I’m dating. Who is it? Well, it’s okay to be an old man anyway. Hehe, come here quickly, I’ll wait for you. You know Rolling Bar How to get there? I don't know, then bring that little girl from the Wen family along, she must know. All right, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, the old man smiled at 11 and said, "It's Siyu, you met me last time. Do you mind if I ask her to come over with me to watch a show with an old man like me?"

"Oh." Eleven asked, "Is this the deal you want to talk about?"

"Yes, and no." The old man said ambiguously: "Business is a business, and favors are favors. In addition to negotiating business with you, I also want you to owe me a favor, so that you will do your best when doing things for me." Heart."

"Tell me about your chips."

The old man avoided answering and asked instead, "What do you think of Si Yu?"

11 glanced at him suspiciously, and said, "What do you mean?"

The old man sighed and said, "Sister Siyu, don't look at her being born in the Yang family, she is actually very poor. I believe you know about her grandma and me. Because of her grandma's relationship with me, she and I Her father has always been looked down upon in the Yang family. This child, Siyu, was trampled and brought up by the Yang family."

"Oh." There is a saying that it is nothing to do with yourself. The old man's past and personal affairs have nothing to do with 11. He simply treats the old man as farting, and the left ear comes out of the right ear as soon as it enters.

The old man didn't care about 11's indifferent tone. He seemed to have really suppressed it for a long time. It was rare for someone to listen to his thoughts. Once this chatterbox started, it was like a flood that was out of control.The old man started from Yang Siyu, talked about her father all the way, and then talked about her grandmother Li Xiuzhu. Before he knew it, nearly half an hour passed. At this time, the downstairs was already full of voices, only the second floor was still rarely quiet. .
