Chapter 137
North of the city.
The morning was getting brighter and the ancient □□ Bay that had been silent all night woke up again. People and cars came and went in the square on the shore, and there was constant noise.
Another busy day with a mountain of department stores and a forest of sails.
At an alley not far from Jiangwan, there is a century-old locust tree. There is an old house in all directions nearby, with green walls and gray tiles. There are no marks on the two old doors that were painted black before. If it weren't for the long green horse stones and standing horse tying stakes outside the door, it would look like many old houses in the city, except for the larger area, it would not be conspicuous at all.
This is the location of the Xufu Water Club, which is famous in the southwest.
In the daytime, there were cars and horses like dragons, officials and merchants, and peddlers and pawns. From morning to night, there were endless people coming. After a long time, the two bronze shops hanging on the door were touched smoothly and shiny by the hands of the knockers.
Today, the main hall was closed. At this moment, the three-open spacious hall inside was filled with many leaders of the Water Club, and dozens of gangs were established in the courtyard outside, all of whom were leaders of the heads.
Just this morning, the last few farthest distances of Lao Qi and Lao Yao and others who were stationed in Kuizhou and other places in the downstream also arrived overnight, and everyone gathered here. At this moment, inside and outside the main hall, there were solemn and silent. Although there were many people, they all looked solemn and the atmosphere seemed extremely heavy.
In a room in the back hall, King Zheng Long was sitting in an official hat chair by the window, slightly closing his eyes. Wang Niqiu stood beside him, staring at a doctor taking his pulse for him, and then checking his condition.
This doctor is the most famous doctor in the Xu Mansion. He was invited to provide daily treatment for King Zheng Long.
After a while, the doctor stopped, picked up the pen, and made a few more changes. After a while, he finally prescribed the prescription.
Wang Niqiu took it and said angryly: "Why is this recipe again? Is there any difference from the last time?"
The doctor was a little nervous, raised his sleeve, wiped the layer of sweat that had just been held back from his forehead, and hesitated.
King Zheng Long suddenly opened his eyes and signaled the doctor to leave.
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to him and thanked him, packed up his things, and hurriedly stepped out.
King Zheng Long looked at Wang Niqiu with a worried expression, and a faint smile appeared on his face, saying, "Don't call the doctor again in the future, to make things difficult for them. If you can cure it, you will have cured it long ago. I have to wait until now. Life and death are destined to be dead. When we reach our level, can't you still be open? Don't be too persistent."
His face was thin, and recently he had frequent breathing difficulties and laryngeal edema, and sometimes he was very difficult to speak. Even if he could speak, his voice became extremely hoarse and a little difficult.
Wang Niqiu is bold and meticulous and steady in nature. He is considered to be the most handsome character in the Water Club. In terms of prestige, he is only under Zheng Longwang.
He tried his best to suppress his disordered mood, barely looked relaxed, and said, "Or, master, please take a rest first-"
Before he finished speaking, King Zheng Long waved his hand, held the chair handle and stood up slowly.
"While you can still talk today, my brothers are all here, I will go see them and give the matter..."
"The boss! How can I bear the huge water meeting? You shouldn't be so anxious! A lucky person has his own appearance, and you will definitely get better!" Wang Niqiu said anxiously.
King Zheng Long smiled and said nothing.
Wang Niqiu knew that his body was really weak, and advised him: "Master, just sit down. I will go out and call my brothers in. The same is true for speaking here."
King Zheng Long paused word by word: "I can still walk the few steps to the meeting hall."
Wang Niqiu knew that he wanted to help him establish his authority, and felt mixed feelings, so he could only help him out as he wished. Unexpectedly, when King Zheng took a step, his feet stopped on the threshold. Suddenly, he grabbed the door frame with one hand, his body was slightly hunched, his face was pale, and beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down from his forehead.
Wang Niqiu stayed with him all day long and knew that he had chest pain again. He was shocked and hurriedly supported him, leaned back on the recliner, and used the first aid pain reliever left by the foreigner the previous time.
After a while, King Zheng Long felt the chest tightness and severe pain slightly relieved, closed his eyes and sighed.
"Three, I am really old... I didn't expect that today, my brothers were waiting outside, but I couldn't even walk these few steps..."
His expression was still calm, but the desolate tone was extremely sad.
Wang Niqiu could no longer hold it back and said words rushed out.
"Master, I'll go to the pharmacy again and give me a prescription!"
King Zheng Long was silent for a long time, slowly opened his eyes, and whispered: "Don't bother her, it will only add to trouble. If they have another accident because of me..."
He stopped.
"Don't bother her!"
King Zheng Long spoke again, and he had already repeated the words.
"Big boss!"
Wang Niqiu, a man who always kills people without blinking with his knife, has his eyes flushed and his voice trembled slightly.
Suddenly, a hustle and bustle sound came faintly in the direction of the front hall outside.
Wang Niqiu turned his head and looked at it.
King Zheng Long smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's the youngest who is so angry, so he yells to avenge me again."
He paused.
"I'm much better and can go out. Third brother, please help me down."
As he expected, the noise in front of him was instigated by the youngest water association.
When the doctor went out just now, he was stopped by a burly man and asked how the boss was.
The man was the youngest in the head of the family. He arrived here this morning. Before King Zheng saw King Zheng's face, he had bloodshot eyes and didn't say a break. Seeing the doctor's vague words, he couldn't help but stand up from the chair with gritted teeth and said angrily: "If the boss is really unexpected, I will never let Feng Guobang go! I don't want to fight for this life, and I will also avenge the boss!"
After he finished speaking, dozens of followers standing outside in the courtyard roared, and for a moment, the voices soared into the sky, which made the nest birds on the old locust tree flap their wings and escape.
Su Xuezhi arrived in a carriage. She came down, stopped outside the door and waited, watching Su Zhong run up to slap the door, and suddenly, a loud roar came from inside. Not only did the birds fly away from the trees, but the pedestrians passing by nearby stopped and watched silently.
Su Zhong pressed the bed hard, and after a while, he finally saw the door open and someone came out.
The man looked bad and murderous. He was a gang member of the Shuihui Society. He walked around Sanjiang Wharf on a daily basis and naturally recognized Su Zhong. Seeing that it was him, his face was a little better and said, "No one in charge today! Manager Su, you have something to do, come back later!" After that, he was about to close the door.
Su Zhong hurriedly pointed at Su Xuezhi who was standing behind him and said, "It's my young master! I've come back from studying medicine from Tiancheng! Go and tell the third master, and just say that my young master is here to see the eldest master's health!"
The man was stunned, looked at Su Xuezhi, who was carrying the medicine box, and shouted to wait, then turned around and ran in a hurry.
Wang Niqiu helped King Zheng to the front hall. Before he arrived, he saw the youngest man rushing in from a distance with an angry look on his face. Several more steady leaders chased him and tried to dissuade him. However, the youngest man was fierce and fierce. He usually only listened to King Zheng's words, and he became angry at this moment. No one could suppress him for a while.
King Zheng Longwang spread Wang Niqiu, holding his hand, slowly straightened his back, and looked forward with his eyes. Although his face was still gray, his eyes suddenly shone brightly. After stopping, he stepped forward, and shouted: "Youngest! What are you doing! The sky is falling?"
The youngest stopped, turned his head, and saw King Zheng Long walked out, his steps were steady, and there was no bad look? He was stunned, reacted, relieved, and was overjoyed, rushed up and shouted, "Boss! Are you okay?"
King Zheng Long stopped and smiled slightly: "Just heard the noise in front of you, you don't have to look at it, I knew it was you. Younger, I know you are loyal and righteous, but the matter of revenge-"
His smile disappeared and his tone turned stern.
"I have said that the grudges and grudges with the Feng family in Taiping Hall have been cleared. If you do this, do you want me to break the trust of others?"
The youngest looked ashamed, lowered his head and said nothing, and suddenly changed color again, cursing: "A quack doctor who killed Qiandao! I just asked him what happened to you, the boss, he hesitated, and he looked like you would not be able to stand it. I was anxious for a moment, and then I was reckless! When I see him again, I must twist his head off!"
King Zheng Long raised his eyes and glanced at the brothers around him who had lived and died with him. Seeing that everyone was silent and looked worried, the only youngest Lu Zhi was in a daze and was still finding a place for him. He tried his best to cheer up and said with a smile: "Let's go, go to the meeting hall. I have something to say..."
"Three Heads--"
At this time, a gatekeeper outside rushed in, calling out the third leader, and found that King Zheng Long had also come out and changed his words.
"The boss! The manager of Tiandexing, the deed, is here! He said that Young Master Su has returned from studying medicine in Tiancheng and is here to show you your health!"
Everyone was surprised and turned their heads to look.
King Zheng Long stopped suddenly and his figure stopped.
Wang Niqiu, who was beside him, was also shocked. Before he could react, he suddenly tightened his arms and lowered his head. He saw that Zheng Longwang had pinched his arm.
His hands were cold, but his knuckles were like iron claws, which made his hands break and hurt.
Decades ago, his sworn brother was in his prime. When he was taking him and dozens of his subordinates to fight with him, it was because of his own that he met the beautiful shopkeeper Tiandexing who showed up in public and walked.
After so many years and half of his life, the two of them were close and separated. Of course, he knew the secret that could not be known to outsiders.
The young master of the Su family... is actually a young lady. She has never liked or even hated the boss. The boss naturally became aware of it. He was not only full of shame for this unrecognizable daughter, but also did not dare to approach him. Even if he wanted to protect her, he could only act silently.
How could Wang Niqiu not know about these?
He never expected that at this time, the lady would come back and took the initiative to come over and said that she would treat the boss's health?
Is it really coming to see people, or is there another intention?
Wang Niqiu reacted, feeling a little nervous.
He looked at King Zheng Long, and when he saw his eyes frozen, he still said nothing, and hurriedly asked on his behalf: "Where is the young master?"
“Just outside!”
"Come in now!"
The gang responded, turned around and left.
Wang Niqiu has had countless women who have been together in his life, but he has never had a son or a half daughter. When he encountered such a situation, he didn't know what to do. Seeing that King Zheng Long was still standing like that, his eyes fixed, but his figure gradually shook slightly, he was obviously not going to stand firm. He was afraid that if the lady used the excuse of being a bad person in the hospital, in front of the eyes of many brothers, the scene was embarrassed, so he resisted the pain from the bones of his hand and asked softly: "Master, I will help you in, sit down first?"
King Zheng Long closed his eyes, opened his eyes, and had already stood firm again. Then he let go of Wang Niqiu's arm and said in a deep voice: "No need. I'll pick her up here."
Wang Niqiu sighed inwardly, afraid of accidents, so he did not dare to stay away, and stared nervously ahead.
Su Xuezhi carried the medical box and entered the door. As the water from front, back, left and right, the crowd stared at her, followed the guide and hurried through the courtyard.
She raised her eyes and saw the master of Shuihui, who was called Dragon King, standing alone in the courtyard.
Compared to the way she met by chance at the wharf last year, the Zheng Longwang in front of her was bleak and sick and haggard. But he still stood up straight and looked at himself, motionless, and his figure looked as stable as Mount Tai.
Su Xuezhi knew that with his current physical condition, he could still have such a mental state, and he must be holding on.
What kind of thought can make a person whose body has actually declined to such a serious state still look like this?
Su Xuezhi certainly knew some rumors about her mother and the other party. Ye Yunjin would ask He Hanzhu for help in private this time without hiding her, which further proved the guess. She had a faint understanding, not only without any disgust or resistance, but even when this steadily figure as high as a mountain jumped into her eyes, Su Xuezhi felt an unprecedented warmth surge in her heart.
It was something she had never felt since she had remembered, as if she had found a sense of peace of mind that life had depended on. It was so thick and heavy that even He Hanzhu had never brought her.
Su Xuezhi paused for a moment, handed the medicine box to the person who was following him, and then quickly walked to Zheng Longwang, stretched out his hand and supported his arm.
"Master, I'm here to see your body for you. Go in quickly."
