Chapter 24 Section VII
The carriage passed the three defensive checkpoints in the broken rocks of the "Dashu Hall" before driving to the gate of the "Old Nest".Along the way, Di Bin felt very satisfied watching his subordinates who were on guard from the car window.Hall Master Yu was assassinated suddenly, and various sites were attacked one after another. The subordinates still did not appear chaotic, and quickly gathered in the broken stone to reorganize their formation.This is the result of rigorous training and instruction on a daily basis.
Wu Chaoyi, dressed in combat gear, was waiting in front of the gate of the "Old Nest".In the extremely cold evening after the rain, he showed a pair of strong arms covered with scars, thick leather wrapped around his wrists, and a ring-shouldered steel knife hanging around his waist. His eager expression reminded Di Bin of attacking the "slaughterhouse". "The atmosphere before.
——Now we are the one being attacked...
The security of the "Old Nest" has always been taken care of by Wu Chaoyi, and the young subordinates who are new to the gang will also be sent here to stay for a period of time, and he will personally train them.
Di Bin jumped out of the car first, and then he saw barriers made of sharpened wood on the roads on both sides of the "Old Nest" warehouse to prevent cars and horses from breaking in.He looked up again, and the surrounding roofs and windows on the second floor were covered with crossbowmen.He nodded to Wu Chaoyi and gave a thumbs up.
"Where's the hall master?" Di Bin walked up to Wu Chaoyi and asked anxiously.Some subordinates handed over cloth towels and hot tea.Di Bin waved his hand and refused.
"inside."
The person who answered him was not Wu Chaoyi.
"Second brother!"
Di Bin ran into the front yard of the "Old Nest", and hugged Long Bai vigorously.
"Second brother, when did you come back?"
"Just now." Compared with Di Bin's, Long Bai's voice seemed cold. "Just in time. I helped Ye Yi bring the boss back."
"Boss, he..."
"The doctor has already seen him. The arrow was pulled out. Fortunately, it didn't shoot at the central fossa." Long Bai said. "I can't die. But I've bled a lot. I'm sleeping now."
Di Bin clenched his fists.Whoever shot that arrow, he swore to make that person pay.
"What's the matter?..." Long Bai frowned and asked.Di Bin followed his gaze and looked back.Lian Shou, Ning Xiaoyu and Qi Chu also got out of the car one by one.Ning Xiaoyu's gait was still unsteady, and the sickle was supporting her waist.Qi Chu kept his head down and walked at the end.
"This... we'll talk about it later. Let's go see the boss first..." At this moment, Di Bin realized that Long Bai's beard was cleanly shaved, which was a bit unusual.In the past, Long Er Er always didn't bother to shave his beard when he went out to secure goods. When he came back, his face was covered with rough bristles.
——When I first met in the army, Lord Long already had a beard.Di Bin remembered that the second elder brother shaved off his beard last time, it was the day he was assassinated and ate bones...
"Come on." Long Bai beckoned. "Fourth and fifth are coming too." He looked at Ning Xiaoyu and said nothing.
Di Bin whispered a few words to Wu Chaoyi, and then followed the three righteous brothers into the warehouse.He kept looking at Long Bai's back.
——Second brother didn't even swear at all, he didn't seem anxious at all.
Looking at Yu Runsheng's drowsy face, the four sworn brothers were silent. Ye Yi was still guarding the hall master's bedside tightly. Di Bin got angry almost immediately when he saw him, but he knew it was not the time. Among the four, the one who looked the most natural was Lian Shou.He leaned forward, held Yu Runsheng's palm with one hand, and stroked the hair on his forehead with the other.That look of tenderness is no different from caring for a sick lover.Di Bin looked a little uneasy. Yu Runsheng still didn't wake up, his breathing was shallow and short, and his already fair face was even less bloody.Ocher blood scabs ooze from the cloth wrapped around his chest. Long Bai cleared his throat lightly, and then said in a low voice: "The boss said when he was awake, who will temporarily take the position of hall master..." Except for Sickles, the rest of the people's eyes became tense.Even Qi Chu who knew he was not capable of being the hall master.Normally, the boss is still alive, and the distribution of all powers is taken for granted; however, even if no one has ambitions, this is still a very sensitive issue. "Old five." Long Bai patted Sickles shoulder. "This is the order of the boss. He also said: If he dies, you will be the hall master in the future." Di Bin's mood was very complicated.He originally thought that the acting hall master was either himself or Long Bai.He doesn't aspire to that position.It doesn't matter which of the brothers should be him, it's just that the boss's decision surprised him.After such a long period of decadent days, Fifth Brother really has this ability?At this juncture, they can't afford to make mistakes... But Di Bin is still relieved on the other hand: the boss didn't give up on Fifth Brother, on the contrary, he believed that he had abilities that others didn't have... "Haha..." Qi Chu sneered beside him. "Five, congratulations..." "Are you sick?" Di Bin took Qi Chu's arm, intentionally or unintentionally standing between the fourth and fifth brothers. "Don't joke around at times like this..." "I'm not joking..." Qi Chu looked like he was smiling, but his face was pale. "I'm really envious of Lao Wu... He doesn't have to do anything, but he has all kinds of things at hand... Can't you see? Can't you see the boys who ran with our carriage just now? And just now ..." His voice became choked. "...Even the boss thinks so highly of him, how can I not be envious?..." When Qi Chu spoke, his expression became agitated, and tears overflowed from his eyes; Long Bai sighed and shook his head; Di Bin called two subordinates to help Qi Chu out.Those two thought that fourth master Qi was too sad to see the hall master being injured. "Boss has another order." Long Bai broke the awkward atmosphere. "Before 'Feng Yilong' did not make a move, we have been holding here." "No!" Di Bin said decisively. "Now we should fight back! If we continue to defend, what do the people in Piaocheng think? And the morale of the brothers. At least Wang Shanglin's head should be used to eliminate the hatred of that arrow!" "Do as the boss says." Lian Shou was still sitting in front of the bed, holding Yu Runsheng's hand. "But……" "The current hall master is me." Lian Shou didn't have an orderly tone, but it was enough to make Di Bin obey. "Where is Shannan Street?" Di Bin thought of Li Lan only after seeing that the boss was safe. "Surrounded. But it should be all right. The other party knows that none of our brothers are there." "But sisters-in-law..." Di Bin gritted his teeth. "Maybe they haven't had bad thoughts yet, but when it comes to an emergency, maybe they will take them hostage! And Mother Long! Let me lead a team to rescue!" "No." Long Bai said coldly, as if his mother and wife were not trapped in the siege net on Shannan Street. "Doing so will weaken the defense here. There are still many men scattered around the city. Gather them all back first." "That's our family!" Di Bin shouted unconsciously, and then realized that the boss should not be woken up. "I just know that if the boss hadn't been injured, he would have made the same decision." "Let me go." Lian Shou said. "Anyway, the front command here is just relying on the two of you. I don't know how to defend." "No." Long Bai still insisted. "Lao Wu is now the acting hall master, that is, the pillar of the 'Big Tree Hall', let alone taking personal risks..." "As you said..." Lian Shou stood up. "I am the hall master now. This is my decision." He looked down at the boss.Putting both hands on the shoulders of Long Bai and Di Bin, pulling them together. "I've been resting for so long, it's time to do something for my brother."
