Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and calmly looked at Ye Canghua. "Firstly, I'm used to taking revenge today. It's not too late to play for ten years. Second, I've had many opportunities in my life. If I had grasped them, I might have become someone important. Of course, I can't be compared to the big shots like you. Third, maybe I don't have a good strategy, so I'm not destined to be a hero. That's why I don't care about the consequences and only think about the present. I think I have to do it. Even if the Emperor is here, I have to do it. "
Ye Zanghua looked at Xiao Zheng with a complicated expression. "Have you decided?"
"Yes." Xiao Zheng nodded.
"Although I think it's stupid of you to do so." Ye Zanghua lit a cigarette and said seriously. "But I have to say that you have guts. You dare to do things that many people don't dare to do. No wonder Lin Huayin likes you. "
"Are you complimenting me or insulting me?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"Both." Ye Zanghua blinked. What a joke. "Ever since Old Bai went into seclusion, there hasn't been a fearless coward like you in Yan Jin for a long time."
Xiao Zheng took a puff and said, "Apart from sending me a message, you're also going to give me an address, right?"
"Yes." Ye Zanghua nodded. "The person you're looking for is at the Bronze Sparrow Tower. It's a real private club. The Yan Family uses it to entertain their guests. Even I can't get in without an invitation. "
Pausing for a moment, Ye Canghua's eyes flickered, "But I reckon that you can enter without an invitation."
Ye Zanghua didn't say anything else. Yan Shang had already set up a banquet at the Bronze Sparrow Tower, waiting for him to show up. It was up to Xiao Zheng to decide whether to go or not.
"Thanks." Xiao Zheng blew out a smoke ring and jumped out of the car.
"Hello. Xiao Zheng. "Ye Zanghua poked her head out and asked with a smile. "Are you going to distance yourself from me because of what I said just now?"
"Is the word 'stingy' carved on my face?" Xiao Zheng turned around and asked.
Ye Canghua grinned and scolded, "Virtue."
…
The Copper Sparrow Tower was located in the city center. As Ye Canghua had said, it was a proper private clubhouse. Lin Chaotian and Lu Dashan had clubs like this. Xiao Zheng had never been to Lin Chaotian's private clubhouse, but he had eaten two meals at Lu Dashan's clubhouse. It was different from an ordinary clubhouse, with a different style and atmosphere. Of course, the biggest difference was that ordinary clubhouses were profit-making, while real private clubhouses were not only unprofitable, but they were also places where people spent money lavishly.
Xiao Zheng took a taxi and asked the driver. After searching for a long time, he finally found it on a very conspicuous road in the city center.
"F * ck. It was too strange. I've been on this road for more than ten years, but I've never noticed such a club. "The driver clicked his tongue in wonder.
Xiao Zheng smiled and paid the fare without hesitation. It wasn't strange. Those who had the qualifications to come to the Copper Sparrow Restaurant wouldn't take a taxi. Therefore, to this driver, he might not have brought a customer to the Copper Sparrow Restaurant in his entire life. Xiao Zheng was the first.
After getting out of the car, Xiao Zheng strode toward the entrance of the Copper Sparrow Restaurant.
There was such a piece of land in the heart of Yan Jing City, where every inch of land was worth gold. Whether it was rented or bought, it was only a three-story, well-decorated clubhouse. No matter how one looked at it, it was more extravagant than the commercial buildings that were dozens of floors tall.
As soon as Xiao Zheng arrived at the entrance of the Copper Sparrow Restaurant, two guards stopped him and asked politely, "Sir, please show me your invitation."
"No." Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette against the wind.
No?
He dared to barge in here without an invitation? Where did this barbarian come from?
"Sir, what is your surname?" A rather experienced guard asked modestly.
"My surname is Xiao." Xiao Zheng took a drag. "Cao Tou Xiao."
When the two heard this, they immediately asked nervously, "Xiao Zheng?"
"That's me." Xiao Zheng flicked the banquet in a practiced manner.
"Sir Xiao, please come in." A guard hurriedly led Xiao Zheng into the clubhouse. As soon as he arrived in the lobby, a voluptuous young woman dressed in a qipao came forward with a lustful expression. She asked about Xiao Zheng's well-being. It was like a spring breeze.
But Xiao Zheng, who had experienced many great storms, understood that the number of heroes who died in the arms of women was no less than the number of brave men who died on the battlefield. Just the famed courtesan of the late Ming Dynasty, Chen Yuanyuan, had caused the deaths of countless brave soldiers. Wasn't this the principle that femme fatale?
The beautiful qipao woman exchanged a few simple words with Xiao Zheng before leading him straight to the second floor. After passing through a quiet corridor and passing by a few different rooms, she finally led Xiao Zheng to a large door deep in the courtyard.
"Sir Xiao, please come in."
The beautiful qipao woman didn't ask for the reason. After confirming Xiao Zheng's identity, she went straight here. She didn't say much on the way. When she reached the door, she turned back the way she came, as if she was afraid of getting involved.
Xiao Zheng didn't say much. He pushed the door with one hand and strode in.
Creak.
As soon as the door opened, Xiao Zheng saw the huge array of people inside. The Banquet at Hongmen, which was full of danger. It was his first hard battle in the capital.
The private room was huge. With a glance, it was at least a hundred square meters. For an ordinary private room used for resting and dining, this could be considered luxurious.
There was a small reception area in the private room, and next to it was a huge dining table. It was big enough to accommodate more than 20 diners.
Xiao Zheng pushed the door and entered. He saw some people sitting in the reception area drinking tea and chatting. At the same time, there were people sitting at the dining table, eating, drinking, and beaming with joy. A few gorgeous and coquettish beauties were entangled around the young man in a suit, making obscene sounds. What a lively and fragrant picture, it was like an upper-class Ukiyo-E painting.
As soon as Xiao Zheng stepped on the soft carpet, the nearly 20 people in the room all looked at him. The originally lively and noisy room instantly fell into a quiet and strange space. Even the drop of a needle could be heard.
Creak.
The door closed automatically, and Xiao Zheng was involved in this Banquet at Hongmen, which clearly didn't belong to him but was carefully prepared for him.
Soon, Xiao Zheng's eyes fell on a gloomy and tough face.
Yan Shang.
An old comrade who used to eat in the same pot and train on the training field. Xiao Zheng's number one enemy.
Without him, Xiao Zheng's bright future wouldn't have been ruined. Without Xiao Zheng, Yan Shang wouldn't have been reduced to this. The so-called old enemy, the so-called sworn enemy, was probably nothing more than this.
After Xiao Zheng entered the room, Yan Shang slowly stood up and stubbed out the cigarette in his hand. Then, with lazy but extremely sinister steps, he walked toward Xiao Zheng step by step. He didn't even bother to put on a fake smile. He stared straight at Xiao Zheng and opened his thin lips slightly. "Xiao Zheng. My former classmate. My old comrade from the artillery battalion. In order to cripple my leg, he gave up the chance to further his studies in the army. He also ruined my chance to stay in the army. If he hadn't broken my leg, maybe I wouldn't be some bullsh * t Vice President Yan right now, but Major Yan. "
He seemed to be introducing Xiao Zheng to his friends. At the same time, he was also explaining the grudge between the two of them. When he walked in front of Xiao Zheng and their eyes met, he finally said what he had buried in his heart for many years. "I have to take revenge."
