rebirth against the times

At the critical moment, Liu Xiong raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, we have been driven into a desperate situation. As long as we retreat today, we will die sooner or later. Even if we die, we have to fight and kill." After saying this, Liu Xiong rushed forward with a knife.

Zhuang Lianhai and others were inspired by Liu Xiong's fighting spirit and rushed over without fear of death. The thirty people on the other side originally thought they had a chance to win, but they did not expect that these people would take the lead in attacking them, and immediately hurriedly

The fight started, but because the people on Zhuang Lianhai's side were tightly grouped together, and although there were many people on the other side, they were not in formation and looked in disarray. They did not form a fighting force at all, but Zhuang Lianhai's people had the upper hand.

During the fight, Liu Xiong saw that the enemy boss had been scattered, and he was huddled in a corner. With this rare opportunity, Liu Xiong immediately rushed out of the team, kicked away a horseman, and then rushed straight towards the boss.

When the man saw Liu Xiong coming, he immediately shouted for help, but no one around him could rush to save him, so he instead begged Liu Xiong for mercy, promising that as long as Liu Xiong let him go, he could forget the blame and give Liu Xiong some money.

Xiong was of great benefit. Unfortunately, he met Liu Xiong, a ruthless man. Before he could finish speaking, Liu Xiong raised his knife and dropped it without hesitation. The boss instinctively raised his arms to block.

Because the force was too strong, Liu Xiong's knife actually dug deeply into the opponent's arm bone. Liu Xiong tried hard to take the knife back, but couldn't pull it back, so he flew up with a kick, using the force of the opponent's kick to fly away.

He forcefully pulled the knife back, and then stepped forward and slashed the opponent until he had no chance of life. Seeing that Liu Xiong had killed the opponent, Zhuang Lianhong immediately rushed forward and killed the two horse boys, protecting Liu Xiong when he came back.

"Now that we have taken revenge, let's find a way to withdraw." Zhuang Lianhong said to Liu Xiong.

Liu Xiong thought for a while and pointed to the other three bosses and said: "No, the three of them are not easy to mess with. If we offended them today, we will not end up well, so we might as well solve it together."

Zhuang Lianhong was shocked. He didn't expect Liu Xiong to be so cruel, but what he said did make sense. If you offend one person, you will be cornered by the other party. Now that you have offended three big guys, there will be no way to survive in the future. It would be better

Now it's time to fight. So a few people just continued to defend each other hard. I don't know if the other party drank too much at night or was drained by alcohol and sex. They didn't show their due fighting power at all. Facing a man who was more than half as small as themselves.

People never had the upper hand. At this time, Zhuang Lianhong was accidentally kicked onto Master Guan's altar table. He felt that his whole body had hit a hard object and was in pain. Zhuang Lianhong took a closer look and saw that it was an offering on the altar table.

A nearly two-meter-long Qinglong Yanyue knife. I didn’t expect that most of the body of this knife was made of solid iron. It might weigh twenty or thirty kilograms. The weapon in Zhuang Lianhong’s hand was knocked off, and he raised it with both hands.

He picked up the Green Dragon Sword and slashed forward. However, because the knife was too heavy, he was slowed down in his actions. After making a slash, it was very difficult to take back the knife. When the opponent looked down upon him, Zhuang Lianhong took the knife back again and changed the direction.

Cutting to sweeping, the knife danced around in circles, and kept sweeping towards the opponent. Most of the opponents had short swords and daggers. Who could withstand such torture, they all gave way, and twenty or thirty people were actually scattered by Zhuang Lianhong alone.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Xiong led his men to defeat them one by one, constantly strangulating the lone mazai. After a while, the other party couldn't stand it anymore, and was chased to pieces by these people. The other three big men

The boss also killed two people in the chaos, and the other one was injured and ran away with several of his brothers. Seeing that the boss died and his allies ran away, the remaining horses didn't know what to do and they all collapsed.

And set.

At this time, Zhuang Lianhong fainted from dancing. Seeing that the enemy was defeated, he suddenly lost his strength. The big knife came out of his hand and flew straight out, smashing a big hole in the door of the mahjong parlor. Liu Xiong looked at the scene and saw that on his side

Although all the people were defeated, no one fell down. No less than ten people on the other side fell in random directions, and he didn't know how many died. But what he cared about was only whether the big bosses were dead. Seeing that the target was already dead.

When they couldn't die any more, Liu Xiong asked everyone to retreat as soon as possible.

The days after revenge not only did not become easier, but became more and more sad. In addition to several boss men looking for them to seek revenge, the police were also looking for them. After many twists and turns, Zhuang Lianhong and several brothers were moved around.

After arriving in Tai O, he hung out in the casino for a while. Liu Xiong stayed in Baodao and secretly observed the development of the situation. A year later, Liu Xiong told Zhuang Lianhong that things had turned around. The big boss who escaped that day was because of

He was seriously injured and never recovered after escaping. He died after a delay of half a year. However, the subordinates of several big bosses refused to obey anyone. Today you are in charge, and tomorrow I will kill you, causing chaos in the entire area. Police

Someone was needed to clean up the situation, so he approached Liu Xiong and promised that as long as Liu Xiong could deal with the bad guys, the past could be forgotten.

After getting the news, Zhuang Lianhong returned to the treasure island again with his original brothers and a few new horses that he had recruited in Tai O that year. Zhuang Lianhong had gained a reputation in the mahjong parlor because of the battle, and he was on the road.

Many people were deeply impressed by him. Under Liu Xiong's planning, many of them took the initiative to defect to Zhuang Lianhong. After some fighting, Zhuang Lianhong and Liu Xiong became more and more powerful, and the smuggling income

More and more. After another two years, the two of them swept through several local halls and finally monopolized the smuggling business in this area. But they were not satisfied with this and began to extend their hands to various other fields.

Gambling, pornographic industries... and even legitimate businesses were done a lot. In the next few years, because Zhuang Lianhong was a foreigner who came here illegally, it was not easy to be completely bleached, so between him and Liu Xiong, Zhuang Lianhong was basically responsible for the underworld affairs, while Liu Xiong was responsible for the underworld.

In charge of Baidao's business, the two of them joined forces to make their business bigger and bigger. This harmonious relationship lasted until more than 20 years ago.

As the relationship between Liu Xiong and Bai Dao became closer and closer, at the age of 30, Liu Xiong finally deliberately married the daughter of a congressman. On the wedding day, Zhuang Lianhong and his brothers went to congratulate him happily, but due to

Due to the woman's family background and Liu Xiong's original connections in Baidao, the entire wedding scene presented a different scene. The polarization of the scene was very serious. The people at the table here were well-dressed and polite, and they were very polite and polite in everything they said and done.

The people at the other tables were disheveled, with angry faces, shouting loudly at the wedding, and behaving in a very indecent manner. What was even more funny was that one table was full of police personnel, while the table next to it was all gangsters.

Many of the big and small bosses know each other and have deep estrangements.

After drinking for three rounds, a congressman was chatting with Liu Xiong, asking him to seize the opportunity and make great achievements in the future. The little bosses under Liu Xiong, perhaps because they were happy for their boss's wedding, actually brought their brothers to the table.

The person at the table went to make a toast. As many guests were eating, they saw a group of fierce men surrounding the dining table. Then they neatly raised their wine glasses to propose a toast. It seemed that if they didn't drink, they would not give face.

The drinker had no choice but to raise his glass and drink it tremblingly. This move made the senior executives of Bai Dao frown, and the congressman was so angry that he didn't say a word. Liu, who saw all this, frowned.

Xiong also felt that the wedding arrangement was very inappropriate, and immediately asked the gangster brothers to eat and drink quickly and leave. Liu Xiong originally did not let Zhuang Lianhong leave, but Zhuang Lianhong saw many brothers being persuaded to leave by Liu Xiong

, feeling very unhappy, he got up and left, taking his brothers to find another place to drink.

After that day, there seemed to be an inexplicable gap between Zhuang Lianhong and Liu Xiong. Although this marriage allowed Liu Xiong to get involved in politics and his career became smoother, Zhuang Lianhong felt more and more that Liu Xiong was not in sync with him.

, the distance between the two gradually became wider and wider. Two years later, Liu Xiong participated in the regional election, but some of his previous affairs were revealed by someone who was interested. In order to completely clear his name and get rid of Zhuang Lianhong's restriction on him, Liu Xiong

Xiong actually blamed all past crimes on Zhuang Lianhong, and then secretly colluded with the black and white forces to launch an offensive against Zhuang Lianhong.

Originally, Zhuang Lianhong was not without the ability to fight back, but he never thought that Liu Xiong would be the mastermind behind this incident. One night, Zhuang Lianhong, who was unaware, was invited to drink by Liu Xiong. The two drank a lot and talked openly about it.

Zhuang Lianhong seemed to feel something, hoping that Liu Xiong could go back to the beginning and advance and retreat together with his brothers. But Liu Xiong told Zhuang Lianhong that he had made his own choice and could never go back.

Zhuang Lianhong burst out laughing and said to Liu Xiong: "They say there are no eternal brothers, only eternal interests. It seems that we can't escape this curse!"

Liu Xiong smiled awkwardly: "If we are separated for a long time, we will be reunited and we will be separated for a long time. It would be beneficial for everyone to see through some things earlier."

Zhuang Lianhong knew that this should be the last drink he and Liu Xiong had in the name of brothers. Liu Xiong's words made him think that the other party was thinking of drawing a clear line and living separately. However, Zhuang Lianhong missed an "early morning"

With the word "some", Liu Xiong meant that if he had been earlier, he would not have reached this point today, but it was too late. That night, Liu Xiong took advantage of Zhuang Lianhong's drunkenness to suddenly attack, and many brothers inside also

With Liu Xiong's bribery, Zhuang Lianhong's power was finally wiped out overnight. None of the dozen brothers who followed him to Baodao betrayed him. Almost all were lost in this turmoil, leaving only

The next man from Tai O named "Scar" and another brother who came together from Hong Kong Island desperately protected Zhuang Lianhong from escaping from the treasure island and came to Tai O again.

Speaking of this, Bai Shuo suddenly glanced at the man sitting here with an obvious scar on his face. The man clearly felt everyone's gaze and stood up and said: "Yes, I was the one who escaped back.

Scar, you have avenged me and my eldest brother, I would like to toast you all." After saying that, he picked up a glass of white wine worth about 2 taels and drank it in one gulp. At this time, Bai Shuo asked Zhuang Lianhong: "What about the other person?

A brother...?"

Zhuang Lianhong sighed: "That brother was seriously injured at that time. Although it was not fatal, he did not get better after two years of training in Tai O, and he finally passed away."

Bai Shuo sighed, and then asked what happened to Zhuang Lianhong after he came to Tai O, and whether he had taken revenge in these years. Zhuang Lianhong's mood was no longer so gloomy at this time, and he went on to talk about what happened next.

After that, Liu Xiong had smooth sailing in Baodao, and he was like a fish in water. All the shady things were left to a few of his subordinates, and he himself became a legitimate businessman and a rising political star. After Zhuang Lianhong fled to Tai O, he was in Tai O.

The boss of Aoshi took him in again and said jokingly: "Your surname is Zhuang and your name is Lianhong. You are destined to engage in gambling. How can you still win continuously as a banker? Haha." In the next ten years, Zhuang Lianhong followed him.

The boss grew up step by step and became the most capable assistant around him. The boss also liked him very much. Because he had no children, he treated him as an adopted son. Ten years ago, the boss died of illness and handed over the power to his subordinates before his death.

Zhuang Lianhong, but asked him to swear an oath not to go to the treasure island to seek revenge from Liu Xiong. Zhuang Lianhong knew that this was the boss's last effort, and held back his tears and agreed to the boss's last request. After Zhuang Lianhong became the new boss, he fulfilled his promise

He did not think about going to the treasure island for revenge, but concentrated on developing the inherited business, and eventually built the largest casino and hotel in Tai O, becoming the most powerful gambling king in Tai O.

Although Zhuang Lianhong's story was told very simply, Bai Shuo and others all heard that Uncle Zhuang's life was extraordinary, and understood why he treated people like him so politely. Except for Anna, Chen Bing and others did not drink that day.

Except for the others, everyone else was drunk. In the end, Zhuang Lianhong was helped back by his younger brothers. Before leaving, Dao Scar said to Bai Shuo and others: Zhuang Lianhong has not been seen drinking so much wine in more than ten years.

On the way back to the room, Bai Shuo and Cao An and Zhuzi beside him talked about what they had experienced these days, and also talked about the grievances between Zhuang Lianhong and Liu Xiong. Bai Shuo said: "Uncle Zhuang and Liu Xiong were young after all.

, we were also full of lofty ideals and courageous in the past, just like us now."

When Cao An and Zhu Zhu both nodded in agreement, Bai Shuo suddenly changed the topic and recited Zhuang Lianhong's words: "There are no eternal brothers, only eternal interests. Fatty, do you think that if our brothers become prosperous in the future, they will be like Zhuang Lianhong?"

Are Lian Hong and Liu Xiong like that?"

"How is this possible?" Cao An shouted immediately without thinking.

Zhu Zhu also said: "The most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart, but at least I dare to say that we brothers who grew up together will never reach their level. We brothers have become brothers because of our feelings since childhood.

, and Zhuang Lianhong and Liu Xiong were originally brought together because of their interests. Although they supported each other and even fought for each other during this period, the core thing is still the word interest."

Bai Shuo smiled happily: "Yes, what Zhu Zhu said makes sense. But in fact, Zhuang Lianhong is not without true brotherhood. At least those brothers who died for him are still Scar who has always been around. These people are the real brothers.

brother……"

That night, Bai Shuo was finally able to relax and have a good sleep. Maybe he fell asleep as soon as he fell down because he was too tired, and he also dreamed about what he had experienced these days. In the dream, the word "brother" was always in his mind.

echo.
