I thought that such an important meeting would be held in a very private place, such as the barracks where Lai Guodong's group was located. But when Zhong Yong parked his car outside the hotel where Sha Lao was staying, I realized that I was really thinking too much.

"Is it okay to be so swaggering? Can 507's housekeeping also be known to outsiders? "I looked around, and after only a few glances, I saw several spies wandering around, eyeing this place.

"This time, the world knows about martial arts, Sha Lao said that there is no need to hide it anymore, so it was decided to put the conference here, even if those spies outside don't know now, they will still be full of news in a few days. It's better to admit generously, let's go in, everyone has almost arrived. ”

Despite Zhong Yong's words, the hotel lobby and private rooms were cleared, and the guests were arranged to enter the housekeeping department directly through the passage on the other side.

When I entered the main entrance of the hotel, a waiter immediately came up and said, "Sir, this place is chartered today, if you want to check in, please go through the passage on the other side." ”

I didn't immediately open my mouth to identify myself, I looked back at Brother Yong, who was standing outside the gate, and said with a smile: "My identity is not enough, it is not my turn to enter." ”

I nodded, took a deep breath and turned around and said, "I'm Ba Xiaoshan, and I'm here for me today." ”

The waiter was stunned for a moment, checked the list in his hand, and wrote my name on the first line, he was stunned, hurriedly let go and said, "Please inside." ”

Fat people, they didn't come along, and I was the only one who could walk into this venue today. In my eyes, neither Sha Lao nor anyone else is an ally, I am like a third party in this venue, independent, Sha Lao wants to use me, and Deputy Director Xia wants to kill me. All the spies surrounding the hotel represent the entire Jianghu who are ready to see the excitement.

I've never been so lonely at this moment, but this loneliness makes me strong, and that's why I love it.

Standing in front of the tall red wooden door, I put my hand on the wooden door and gently pulled it open.

The noise in the hall stopped abruptly, and I felt countless pairs of eyes looking at my face, waiting for me to appear, and it seemed to foreshadow that I should be here.

With a coldness in my eyes, I was still wearing clothes that looked rustic to outsiders, I was still wearing the messy hair, and I only carried a Tushan knife with the length of my forearm.

But in the face of the people in this house, who can be called half of the entire rivers and lakes, I, a junior who has only been a fledgling for 5 years, is nervous but not afraid.

A huge round table, Sha Lao and his subordinates sat on the left, Deputy Director Xia led people to sit on the right, and the high-level officials of the various sects and major families invited by both sides sat in the outer circle.

The audience was silent, and the sunlight was projected into this huge conference hall, and I stood on the edge of the sunlight, raised my hands and fists, and said loudly: "Seniors, juniors Ba Xiaoshan, it's too late, forgive me." ”

Walking into the room, all eyes fell on me, and I walked straight to the round table, which was closest to me and the top of the table, in the middle of the left and right sides, and pulled out the wide wooden chair and sat down.

Sha Lao smoked a cigarette, looking at the deep light in my eyes, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Deputy Director Xia also looked at me, but there was more hostility in his eyes, and next to him sat a man in a black robe and hood, his face could not be seen clearly, but it could be seen from the qi emanating from his body, it should not be simple.

I placed the Tushan knife on the table and looked around, most of them were unknown to me, and only a few sect symbols were recognized by me. I took out the cigarette case from my pocket, and in front of the group of bigwigs, I calmly clicked on a large front door that was already cheap in the nineties, and then said, "I think the meeting should be able to start." ”

Sha Lao smiled and stood up, and said loudly: "I invite you here today to determine the final result of the martial arts, I wonder if Deputy Director Xia agrees with the martial arts discussion this time?" ”

Deputy Director Xia replied with a smile: "Since Sha Lao has spoken, I have no reason to refuse, so I naturally agreed!" ”

In fact, the gossip outside has long been spread all over the sky, and there have been many news pointing out that Deputy Director Xia can't withstand the double pressure from both inside and outside, and even the relevant leaders have directly issued an approval, so that he must solve the problem of internal fighting with Sha Lao as soon as possible, and if he doesn't solve it, he will be removed from his post. The so-called Jiang is still old and spicy, and at the critical moment, Sha Lao's connections suddenly suppressed Deputy Director Xia, and Deputy Director Xia, who obviously had an advantage, had to agree to talk about martial arts that had no advantage over him.

"Good! Since Xiao Xia also said so, let's just discuss the specific content of the discussion today. The representative of our side who sent the discussion of martial arts was Ba Xiaoshan. "Even though there has been a lot of news outside that I will participate in the martial arts discussion on behalf of Sha Lao, when Sha Lao really said this, it still caused some confusion in the venue, and many people looked at it. I smoked a cigarette and smiled calmly: "Sha Lao is in love, I don't know who Deputy Director Xia will send to make a move?" If I'm not mistaken, it should be the one next to Deputy Director Xia. ”

Deputy Director Xia smiled and said, "Before introducing my people here, I didn't know anything. There are rules for talking about martial arts, is it possible to find anyone at will? Sha Lao, since you want to find someone to participate in the martial arts discussion instead of you, according to the rules, you should find someone from our 507, but Ba Xiaoshan doesn't seem to be a person from our 507. ”

Deputy Director Xia was not wrong about this, I didn't say anything, but Sha Lao said calmly: "Ba Xiaoshan will join us in 507 in the near future and become our 507 staff." ”

Sha Lao had never greeted me in this matter, I couldn't help frowning, Deputy Director Xia was also stunned, and said with a smile: "Haha, I see, if that's the case, then it's no problem." Zhaoqu, say hello to all the seniors present. ”

As he spoke, the man in the black robe and hood slowly stood up, took off the hood on his head, and revealed his face, a man in his thirties, a little more vicissitudes than I looked, with medium hair, hair tied into braids and falling on the shoulders, narrow eyes, a face that looked like a cunning tanuki, very white skin but a tattoo on the left near the chin, which seemed to be a scorpion. The lips are very red, as if they have put on lipstick, and with the black robe on their body, the whole person looks a little weird. He arched his hand to the surroundings, wearing two strange rings on his hands, and then said, "In Xia Zhaoqu, I have seen all of your predecessors. ”

"You're the Scorpion King Zhaoqu?" Someone in the back asked, and the voice sounded rather surprised.

"Exactly down there." Zhao Qu smiled and nodded.

After seeing Zhaoqu admit it, the people around him shouted in surprise again, I was a little unfamiliar with the name, so I didn't react, but I heard people on both sides whispering.

"This Xiao Xia really hates, as soon as he makes a move, he is ruthless, and the Scorpion King is all under his command."

"I think Ba Xiaoshan is going to lose the battle this time, how can the Scorpion King say that he is also a famous figure in the evil way, and he is very powerful."

I was smoking, and when I saw Zhao Qu looking back at me, his narrow eyes were full of coldness and murderous intent, and he immediately spoke: "I have also heard the name of Ziwei Lone Emperor for a long time, and I am fortunate to see it today, and I am fortunate to meet it!" ”

Came over while speaking, stood beside me and stretched out his hand to me, the test hand before the war has always been indispensable, this grip can see who has a deeper foundation, generally will not show weakness and will not use all his strength, the two sides are seven or eight points of strength. I stood up, snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, shook the other party's hand, and said, "Fortunately, it is a blessing for the mountains to be able to fight with seniors like you." ”

He didn't feel much strength in his hands, but he pinched it full of bones, like pinching a steel plate, and I didn't use too much force, but I heard the other party say: "I don't dare to say blessing, after all, if you are beaten by me and have an internal injury, you will lose your future, and there will be no blessing at all." ”

I smiled and said, "Each other, if I interrupt your poison needle, you won't be able to sting people in the future." ”
