Chapter five hundred and fifty first friend or enemy(1/2)
Zhao Daxin said: "So that means, at least we will be safe tomorrow, right?"
Bill Brown said: "Yes, I can guarantee that it will be safe the day after tomorrow, but I will not dare to say it any further."
Zhao Daxin responded: "Sir Bill, I ask you to give us some time to consider it. Is this okay? At this time tomorrow night, we will give you a clear answer."
Bill Brown said: "I hope you can seriously consider my advice and never have the idea of escaping Kingsoft. Blanco has a beast-like smell. He can find you wherever you escape. I am the sheriff who is most familiar with Blanco, and only I may be able to kill Blanco. I really don't want to see you tragedy because you don't trust me."
After Bill Brown finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye. Zhao Daxin sent him to the hotel door. Bill Brown reminded him again: "Mr. Zhao, if you choose to leave, I will feel much more relaxed, but I really don't want you to have become corpses when you see you again. Can you understand what I mean?"
Zhao Daxin said: "No matter what, tomorrow night, you will definitely see Nuoli and me in the hotel lobby."
Bill Brown was stunned for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak. He whistled, called his subordinates to drive the police car, jumped into the car and left.
Back at the hotel lobby, Zhao Daxin comforted Luo Lie and said, "Xiaoqi, don't be afraid. With the eldest brother here, no one can hurt a finger."
The two brothers went upstairs and entered their respective rooms, but not long after, Zhao Daxin walked out of the room. After leaving the door, Zhao Daxin glanced around and went straight to the stairs, went down to the hotel lobby, and called a taxi at the front desk of the lobby. After getting in, Zhao Daxin ordered: "Go to Chinatown, call me when you arrive, and I will tell you how to go. Now I need a rest."
Twenty minutes later, the taxi drove to the near Chinatown, and Zhao Daxin seemed not asleep. Without waiting for the driver to shout, he took the initiative to point the route. When the car finally stopped, the place next to him was Cao Bin's Anliangtang.
Zhao Daxin paid the car, and when the car disappeared, he stepped forward and rang the doorbell next to the iron fence door. The doorbell rang only twice, and a person flashed out of the shadow inside the door.
Zhao Daxin immediately clasped his fists and said, "Punish evil and promote good, eliminate violence and safeguard good. Brother Zhao Daxin, please meet the hall master."
The man seemed to know Zhao Daxin and muttered, "It's so late, can't I talk about anything tomorrow?" Although he was reluctant, he still opened the iron door for Zhao Daxin. "Brother Bin is not at home. If you have any urgent matters, please find Brother Biao, the room on the west side of the second floor."
Dong Biao had already fallen asleep and was woken up by Zhao Daxin's knock on the door. When he knew that it was Zhao Daxin outside the door, there was not much. He put on his clothes and stood up and opened the door for Zhao Daxin. "It's so late, what's the urgent matter?" Dong Biao poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Zhao Daxin: "Drink some hot water to warm up your body first."
Zhao Daxin took the teacup, just held it, and said, "Brother Biao, Luo Lie is in trouble."
Dong Biao nodded and said, "I guess you are also here for this matter. Brother Bin already knows it and is dealing with it. This old thing Blanco is not a good thing. I guess it is inevitable to start a war. By the way, how about Luo Lie? Are you scared?"
Zhao Daxin took a sip of water and said, "It was Sheriff Bill who told us the truth. Luo Lie just flashed a little nervous at that time, and then it became normal."
Dong Biao said with relief: "This kid is quite good! Even Brother Bin was really nervous when he knew that the person Luo Lie killed was Blanco's younger brother."
Zhao Daxin hesitated for a while, then exhaled and said, "Brother Biao, Luo Lie's flying knife has been trained. Should he let him come back? He killed someone with a flying knife. I'm afraid that the flying knife for him in this life can only be used to kill people and cannot perform on stage."
Dong Biao stood up, went to the fireplace, added some coke, and said, "I mentioned to Brother Bin that Blanco is not a good person. Just Bill Brown's two brushes can't beat Blanco. Only by bringing Luo Lie back to the hall can he protect him. Of course, you have to come back during this period. After Blanco is settled, you are going to do what you want to do."
Zhao Daxin said: "What did Brother Bin say?"
Dong Biao shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Brother Bin didn't say anything."
Zhao Daxin frowned and said, "What does Brother Bin mean? I heard from Sheriff Bill that Blanco is a very powerful person. Brother Biao, you said just now. Sheriff Bill can't beat Blanco. At this time, I'm not very dangerous to put Luo Lie outside?"
Dong Biao nodded, returned to his seat, and responded: "I guess that Bill Brown will definitely use Luo Lie and you as bait to attract Blanco to appear. If he hides this old thing, no one can find him. I guess Brother Bin's idea. If Luo Lie is taken back to the hall, it is equivalent to telling Blanco that Luo Lie is my Anliangtang. Blanco is in the dark, Anliangtang is in the dark, and Anliangtang is in the dark, and Anliangtang is in the dark, and Anliangtang is in the dark, and Anliangtang will suffer must be Anliangtang. Maybe he can save Luo Lie for the time being, but he cannot get rid of Blanco." Dong Biao sighed, snorted again, and continued: "If you don't get rid of Blanco and his gang, Luo Lie will not be truly safe."
Coke was added to the fireplace, and Dong Biao opened the damper again. At this time, the newly added coke in the fireplace was burning, and the temperature in the house had risen a lot. Zhao Daxin got up and took off his coat, saying, "I understand this explanation from Brother Biao. However, Brother Biao guessed that Sheriff Bill was wrong."
Dong Biao said in surprise: "Oh? Then what is his thought?"
Zhao Daxin said: "He wants to throw Luo Lie and me into prison for the time being."
Dong Biao was suddenly stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.
"This is a good idea!" Dong Biao thought for a long time, and finally understood Bill Brown's intention, saying: "Although the prison is a mess, it is very strict in its prevention. Even if Blanco's people sneak into the prison, it is difficult to find a chance to attack. Blanco will definitely turn his finger on Bill Brown. In this way, it is equivalent to returning to Bill Brown's original plan."
Zhao Daxin was shocked and said, "Brother Biao means let us accept the advice of Sheriff Bill?"
Dong Biao smiled and said, "I really don't know what you are thinking. I just admire Bill Brown's idea, but I didn't say I would agree with his approach. Brother Bin recognized the successor, but was frightened by a Blanco and hid in prison. How could Brother Bin agree to such a thing? I, A Biao, can't get through this level!"
Zhao Daxin said: "Then what should we do? I have promised Sheriff Bill to give him the final answer tomorrow night."
Dong Biao looked at the wall clock in the room and smiled, "Strictly speaking, it should be tonight. It's already twelve o'clock now, and it's a new day. Daxin, don't be anxious when you encounter something. You must remember that behind you, there is Anliangtang, I, A Biao, and Brother Bin. Go back first, have a solid sleep. When you wake up, you may not be sure that Brother Bin has done the matter!"
Zhao Daxin leaned forward and asked, "Brother Biao, ask, is Brother Bin going to stop Blanco?"
Dong Biao laughed and said, "What do you think? I said, if Blanco doesn't want to show up, no one can find him, so will Brother Bin. Besides, if you really do it, I, A Biao, should be in front of me, be right? Well, Brother Bin's things to do are not something that our brothers can think of. Listen to Brother Biao, go back to sleep, and wait for Brother Bin's arrangements with peace of mind."
Zhao Daxin obviously had something to say, but seeing that Dong Biao had already made a gesture of inviting him, he could only keep his whole heart full of words in his heart.
The next morning, while having a buffet breakfast in the hotel restaurant, Luo Lie sat next to Zhao Daxin with a plate full of food. After eating a few bites, he couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother, have you thought about it? Are you agreeing or not to Sheriff Bill?"
Zhao Daxin put down the knife and fork, picked up the napkin, wiped his mouth, and asked back, "What do you think?"
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "I didn't think about it, but I don't want to go to prison."
Zhao Daxin said: "Sir Bill said that in this case, perhaps the prison is the safest place."
Luo Lie pulled a few bites into his mouth, nodded while chewing, and said, "I know, but it would be so embarrassing that way? I would rather be shot by Blanco than hide in that kind of place."
"If you don't want to go, we won't go." Zhao Daxin thought to himself. Brother Biao also disagreed, so he would follow Luo Lie's wish. "It's okay, Xiaoqi, senior brother thinks about other ways, and he will definitely protect your safety."
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "Senior Brother, I think you should take your master sister-in-law and the others to leave Kingsoft earlier. While Blanco has not arrived yet, he still doesn't know that his brother died at our hands. I will stay and cooperate with Sheriff Bill to fight with Blanco. If you lose, you will be worth one life. If you win, I will go to you again."
Zhao Daxin glared and said, "What are you saying? Are you going to trap the eldest brother in unkindness and justice?"
Luo Lie glanced at Zhao Daxin, shook his head slightly, and said, "Senior Brother, I know what kind of person you are, but the master sister-in-law is pregnant with a child, the second, fifth and sixth brothers, they do not understand martial arts, so they cannot protect the master sister-in-law."
Zhao Daxin said: "The circus has a performance tonight. After this performance, Mr. Anderson will take the circus to the next stop. I have already told Mr. Anderson that you and your seniors will follow the circus to the next stop. I will stay with you."
"But..." Luo Lie's eyes were both reluctant, warm and moved.
Zhao Daxin pretended to be angry and shouted, "Nothing is wrong! Master is not here, you have to listen to the elder brother in everything."
Luo Lie swallowed back the words that had already reached his mouth and started eating breakfast silently.
Cao Bin learned about Luo Lie's killing the robber the day before yesterday. Helen described the whole process vividly in her report. Cao Bin couldn't help but feel relieved after reading it. He did not misunderstand Luo Lie showed courage and strategy throughout the process. He was willing to give in when the timing was wrong. After taking a punch, the opportunity suddenly appeared and took action decisively, showing extraordinary alertness and courageous personality. He is indeed a rare handsome talent.
An Liangtang had a tacit understanding with the robbers, and both sides did not violate the rivers. With this report from the Kingsoft Post, it was enough to prove that the robbers broke the rules first and provoked him to An Liangtang's people. Therefore, it was not a big deal that Luo Lie killed one of them and captured two alive. Cao Bin was confident enough to settle the matter easily.
However, the inside information obtained from the police station later said that the robber Luo Lie killed was called Yisai, the younger brother of Newell Town Sheriff Blanco. Cao Bin was really panicked for a while at that time.
Early the next morning, Cao Bin briefly explained to Dong Biao, saying that he was going out and preparing for Blanco's arrival. Cao Bin drove out alone for a day and a night, and did not return to the hall until almost ten o'clock in the morning that day.
Dong Biao immediately came up and opened the car door for Cao Bin first. At the same time, he reported: "Brother Bin, Daxin came last night."
Cao Bin looked very tired, and pointed behind him, and ordered, "Let me talk later, carry the box upstairs first." After getting out of the car, Cao Bin stretched and ordered, "Let Sister Zhou boil some bath water for me. Oh, I drove the car all night, but I was so tired."
Dong Biao picked up a strip suitcase in the back of the car, weighed it, and asked, "Brother Bin, what's the thing inside?" Cao Bin had already walked into the building and responded as he walked, "When you go upstairs, don't you know if you open it yourself?"
Dong Biao followed Cao Bin to the stairs and shouted at the top of his throat: "Sister Zhou, prepare hot water for Brother Bin, Brother Bin is tired."
A woman's response came from the upstairs.
Cao Bin went upstairs and entered the bedroom. He changed his pajamas in just a while. At this time, Mrs. Zhou's hot water for bathing was ready. Before going to the bathroom, Cao Binlin said to Dong Biao: "Why don't you open it and see?"
Dong Biao smiled and said, "Brother Bin's things will be opened in front of Bin's later."
Cao Bin patted Dong Biao on the shoulder, then went to the bathroom. At the moment when the door was closed, Cao Bin said, "That's for you!"
When Dong Biao heard this, he was no longer reserved. He opened the bar suitcase, glanced at it and was stunned. Then his hands began to tremble. In the bar suitcase, there was a brand new Mauser 98 rifle, equipped with a special scope. Dong Biao had a good gun. Three years ago, the latest rifle designed and produced by the German Mauser company was spread to the US market. When Dong Biao saw it, he has been thinking about it since then. However, this rifle is very expensive. It is only a naked gun, without bullets and scopes, and it will be sold for nearly two thousand US dollars. Although Dong Biao has always dreamed of it, it is so expensive that he can only stop.
When he saw the rifle in the suitcase and heard Brother Bin say that the gun was originally given to him, how could Dong Biao not be excited?
Dong Biao swallowed and took several deep breaths before reaching out to pick up the rifle. There was a cardboard box in one corner of the suitcase. Dong Biao pinched it casually and realized that it should be a bullet inside. Dong Biao, who picked up the gun, looked like a child, tried various gun-holding postures dozens of times, but enjoyed it. Until Cao Bin finished taking a bath, he walked out of the bathroom with a cigar in his mouth.
"Brother Bin, is this gun really for me?" Dong Biao just looked up at Cao Bin and continued to fiddle with his Mauser 98 rifle.
Cao Bin sat on the sofa, knocked on the coffee table, and said dissatisfiedly: "Ashtray! A Biao! Can't you put down the gun first? It's said it was for you, so how can you not have a good time to have fun?"
Dong Biao scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and brought the ashtray for Cao Bin, but he refused to put the gun down.
Mrs. Zhou brought two cups of tea at the right time. Cao Bin picked up the teacup, blew the floating leaves on it, took a sip. When Mrs. Zhou stepped down, Cao Bin said, "Luo killed Blanco's brothers, and we can't get rid of this beam with him. I have had a pistol in close combat. I have used a pistol to defeat him. If I want to kill him, I can only rely on the spear in your hand."
Dong Biao rubbed the spear in his hand and replied, "I know, when I saw this gun, I understood. Speaking of which, if I had the chance, I would say thank you to Blanco!"
Cao Bin smoked a cigar and sprayed a smoke, saying, "We brothers are just 40 years old. There is no one around who can take over. Look at Lao Gu, how comfortable he lives!"
Dong Biao smiled and said, "That boy Zhao Daming is really nothing. If you hand over the big and small things to him, you will definitely be relieved."
Cao Bin sighed: "Although I have you, Dong Dabiao, I will feel more at ease with you big and small matters than Lao Gulai. However, you are only one year younger than me, and we will eventually be too old to walk, but An Liangtang is still young and still have to continue moving forward. Therefore, Luo Lie must not have any problems."
Dong Biao nodded and replied, "By the way, Brother Bin, it was almost twelve o'clock last night. Daxin is here to find you. If you are not here, I will chat with him for a while."
Cao Bin took another sip of tea and said, "It's a pity that Daxin is a flying knife skill. He can only perform on stage. If he really kills someone, the flying knife will be out of tune. When encountering such a thing, it's normal for him to panic. Well, what he said to you, and learn what is useful for me."
Dong Biao held a gun and looked out the window, smiling and said, "I just remembered a sentence that Luo Lie's flying knife skills are no longer inferior to him."
Cao Bin smiled and said, "That's more to say? If I can kill Yisai with one knife, the skill in the knife is naturally not inferior to him, Zhao Daxin. Do you think Yisai is just a good meal?"
"Oh, by the way, Daxin said something. Bill Brown wanted Daxin and Luo Lie to hide in prison..." Dong Biao still held the gun and glanced through the window.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cao Bin: "He thought it was so beautiful! He wanted to use Luo Lie as bait and lead Blanco to prison to assassinate Luo Lie? Blanco is not that stupid, and Old Brown is not that smart either. He thought Blanco would definitely kill Luo Lie first and then look for him, so he would have a lot of opportunities to surround Blanco. If that was the case, Old Brown might be the first to die."
A bird flew out of the treetops outside the window. Dong Biao hurriedly aimed, grabbed the trigger's finger and moved slightly, making a "bang" sound, then turned around the muzzle, blew a sigh of pride, and then responded: "I asked Daxin to refuse, but I didn't think so deeply. I just felt that the successor of our Anliangtang was thrown into prison by that old guy Bill Brown for some reason."
Cao Bin sighed lightly, nodded slightly, and said, "You are right, A Biao, you can go there yourself. Please come to my study with Daxin and Luo Lie."
Luo Lie stayed in the room after breakfast. When he was so bored, he took out a flying knife to practice various knife-making postures. Although the room was limited, Luo Lie's figure was very agile. He flew over and jumped over, making a lot of fun, but it did not destroy any facilities in the room. The room was heated and the temperature was not low. After such an activity, he naturally sweated.
The hotel has hot water for 24 hours a day, and the room price is so expensive, so Luo Lie certainly refused to waste it, so he took off his clothes and prepared to take a shower.
At this moment, Zhao Daxin shouted outside the door: "Xiaoqi, what are you doing? I am the eldest brother, and the door is open!"
Luo Lie replied: "Senior Brother, I'm taking a shower, wait for a while."
Zhao Daxin said: "Then what, wait until you finish washing, come to my room."
After taking a shower, Luo Lie changed into clean clothes, came to Zhao Daxin's room opposite, and knocked on the door. "No lock, come in." Zhao Daxin responded in the room.
Luo Lie pushed the door open, but suddenly became stunned.
There was not only Zhao Daxin in the room, and there was a man sitting next to him, looking familiar.
To be continued...
