Xiao Bing and Master Xu sat in a private room. After three rounds of drinking, Master Xu suddenly smiled at Yanzhi, who was sitting next to him. "Yanzhi, I want to talk to Master Long alone."
Yanzhi stood up with a smile and said sensibly, "I'll go and check on their work today."
Master Xu smiled and nodded.
After Yanzhi went out, Xiao Bing looked at Master Xu with a smile. "I knew that Master Xu didn't just invite me to dinner this time. I'm afraid you have something important to tell me. Tell me, what is it?"
Master Xu smiled and said, "I mainly want to talk to you about me."
"About you?" Xiao Bing didn't expect that Master Xu would say this. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "About what?"
Xiao Bing was really curious this time. Xiao Bing had always been interested in Childe Xu, who was always the most mysterious and unpredictable one among the Four Childes in the capital. He was also the one that everyone thought was the most terrifying.
Xiao Bing had always known little about Master Xu and the Xu family.
Xu Shao said, "I was born in a martial arts family, and our family is the only one that stands at the peak of Huaxia by relying on martial arts. We are even the most prestigious of the four families in Jingdu. No family can surpass us."
Xiao Bing said, "I've heard that although the four families are all at the same level, your Xu family is at the same level and the other three are at another level."
Master Xu smiled and said, "You're right. I don't want to be modest. Our Xu family has been the top masters for generations. When martial arts were still very prosperous, my grandfather, Xu Maoshan, was the top master in China. He once fought against the eight masters of the ancient martial arts sects alone. Moreover, the abbot of Shaolin defeated the master of Kunlun, so the ancient martial arts sects collectively closed their mountains. Our Xu family's prestige also reached the peak. It can be said that no one in China can match us, and we are deeply respected by the number one chief. "
"For so many years, our Xu family has always been the guardian of Huaxia. First it was my grandfather, then it was my father, and now it's my turn. Our Xu family is known as the guardian family of Huaxia, and the successive family heads of our Xu family are known as the pillars of Huaxia, which means that we are the existence that supports the whole of Huaxia!"
"My great-grandfather once followed Sun Yat-sen in the revolution and overthrew the Manchurian court. He once forced many masters of Kunlun to retreat, but in the end, he was seriously injured and passed away early. Later, my grandfather began to follow the current ruling party and helped the country expel the Japanese invaders. He also helped the current ruling party unify China. Although no one in the Xu family knows politics and can't lead troops to war, they have protected the leaders and repelled countless enemy sneak attacks and assassinations.
"My father has been protecting China for so many years. At the beginning of the new China, some restless foreign elements tried to assassinate the leaders many times. I don't know how many top masters came, but in the end, they all died in the hands of my father or the disciples trained by my father. In the end, no one dared to act rashly."
"It can be said that the new China has come to this day step by step. Our Xu family can't be compared with those generals and marshals who command the army, but we have also followed them step by step to this day. We deserve great credit!"
Xiao Bing's blood was boiling. In the past few days, Xiao Bing had learned a lot of things. First, he heard about the secret of the ancient martial arts sects in Shaolin. Now he knew that the Xu family played a role in the ancient martial arts sects' closure. The Xu family could even resist the eight sects at the same time. It could simply be called the top three forces in China's martial arts world today.
One was Kunlun, one was Shaolin, and the other was the Xu family, which was even more mysterious than Shaolin.
No wonder no matter who mentioned the Xu family in the past, they all said that the Xu family was terrible. Now Xiao Bing finally knew.
Master Xu continued, "Our Xu family has been with the country until now. Every generation has been defending China. Since we were born, our life's mission is to protect this country. And whether it is my grandfather or my father, they have no desire to be in politics, although their influence is enough to make many big shots in the political circle look up to them."
"But it's different in my generation. Why has our Xu family only existed as a guardian for generations? But we have never gained anything in the political circle. Shouldn't we get more with the power of the Xu family? "
Xiao Bing saw ambition in Master Xu's eyes, a terrible ambition. Master Xu stared at Xiao Bing and said, "Master Long, cooperate with me. You are now the director of the Dingwu office. Although the ancient martial arts sects are still very resistant to you and they will not really listen to your orders, as long as you have my secret support, you can still really be their master! It is not difficult for you and I to suppress Kunlun together! "
Xiao Bing asked, "Then what do you want from it? You are helping me so much! "
"What I want is your cooperation. I have my own contacts in the military and political circles. I've built up a huge network over the years. There are also big shots who support me. As long as you support me, we can definitely stand at a higher position! We are helping each other, not using each other, let alone dominating each other! "
"When I reach the top, the Xiao family and the Xu family will enjoy glory on this land for generations to come. You and I won't have to look at anyone else's face in this world. On this land, everything you and I say will be the imperial edict. Isn't that enough?"
Xiao Bing's eyes became sharp. He looked at Master Xu and said, "You seem to be very ambitious!"
"Shouldn't people living in this world be ambitious?" Master Xu said with some excitement, "With what our Xu family has done for generations, shouldn't we enjoy glory forever?"
Xiao Bing sighed and said, "Your father did a good job, and even the country should always respect and be grateful to your Xu family. But this should not be an excuse for ambition. Does your father think so too?"
"My father?" Master Xu smiled and said, "He is a stubborn old man. My ideas are different from his. But I do all this for the Xu family. I think he can understand."
Xiao Bing sighed and said, "I'm sorry, but I refuse."
Master Xu looked at Xiao Bing and the two looked at each other. Master Xu could not see any compromise in Xiao Bing's eyes, but he seemed to have expected it. He smiled and said, "Sure enough, you are as stubborn as I thought."
"But you still chose to tell me this. Since you know I am so stubborn, you still told me this. Aren't you afraid that I will be on guard against you?"
"I treat you as a friend, so I am honest with you. If I keep hiding this from you, I think you will be more on guard against me."
Xiao Bing sighed and said, "To be honest, there is nothing wrong with your behavior and you are full of personal charm. In today's world, you and Mr. Buddha are two people that I really can't see through."
Master Xu smiled and said, "Mr. Buddha is different. He is just a man who is obsessed with martial arts. He is not at the same level as me. Even if he is stronger than me, he is still a reckless man. He can't even compare to you."
Master Xu looked at Xiao Bing and said, "Although your heart is not in politics, I can see that you are a man with political wisdom. If you and I work together, sooner or later, the world will belong to you and me."
Xiao Bing shook his head and said, "It's okay."
"It's okay." Master Xu smiled and said, "I have another condition. Don't you want to marry Yezi and Su Xiaoxiao at the same time?"
Xiao Bing was stunned for a moment and then looked at Master Xu in surprise. Master Xu smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. I don't need to investigate you at all. I have made this request to the higher-ups before, but it was rejected in the end. You have made so many contributions to Huaxia that you can't even count them, right? But in the end, you were still rejected. Do you really want your women to follow you in the end? Or do you want to emigrate to poor countries that still have polygamy? Abandon everything you have in Huaxia? If you can do this, I won't say much. "
Xiao Bing did not speak and fell silent. This matter was indeed a knot in Xiao Bing's heart. Since Yezi and the others followed him, Xiao Bing could not not be responsible for them. He also did not want to let them down. If he could not give them an explanation, Xiao Bing would never forgive himself in this life and would hate himself forever.
Master Xu's eyes sparkled with wisdom. He remembered what he once said to his military counselor. He said that everyone in this world had their own weaknesses. There was no perfect person, even him. Master Xu also admitted that his desire for power was his weakness. In Master Xu's view, Xiao Bing's weakness was his women. Xiao Bing was a man who was too emotional.
Others thought that Xiao Bing was a playboy, but Master Xu believed that Xiao Bing was a man who was in love. So if they did not talk about their values, Master Xu was indeed Xiao Bing's confidant from the aspect of understanding. Because he really knew Xiao Bing very well.
When he learned that Monitor and the top management were rejected for Xiao Bing, Master Xu had already realized that this was a great opportunity for him to win over Xiao Bing. He might not have such a good opportunity in this life. If he missed it once, there would not be a second time.
So this was the first time Master Xu tried to win over Xiao Bing, and also the last time. In Master Xu's view, whether Xiao Bing was a friend or a foe, everything would be decided in this room.
Master Xu looked at Xiao Bing and said with a serious face, "Master Long, if you cooperate with me, you and I will climb to the top. With our ability, I can't think of anyone in this world who can stop us, not to mention that there is a big boss above us. At that time, won't you be able to get whatever you want?
"Then you can give these women you like a wedding and let them marry you without any regrets in their lives!
"This power is now in your hands, and the future of your women is in your hands. You decide!
"Also, I don't want to be the number one chief. I can't do it with qualifications, prestige, and political skills. I would be crazy to think like that. But we can be second only to one, and above hundreds of millions of people!"
Second only to one, and above hundreds of millions of people. This was the second pie that Master Xu offered.
Could Xiao Bing resist the temptation?
