Chapter 274: Old Wine

The jade is still the priceless piece of ancient jade. The woman who poisoned it is Teacher Cang, otherwise who else in the world can have such a way to harm the poison from the ghost butterfly and the Scorpion Madam?

Even after the poison, she did not have the fantasy technique of poisoning from the air. The poison was indeed on the priceless ancient jade, but her poisoning technique was extremely wonderful. From the time she got the ancient jade, her slender and white hands kept rubbing the jade body, as if she couldn't let go of her love.

She does like the ancient jade very much, but she prefers poisoning. Every seemingly ordinary stroke makes a special poison slowly soak into the jade body. This poison that can penetrate the jade volatilizes very quickly, so the time and strength of each stroke must be very accurate, and within five seconds, the volatile toxicity must be just right. One more point will be discovered, and one less point will not have an effect.

Calculate the interval between each sip of tea between Mrs. Scorpion, and then hit it with one blow. The moment Mrs. Scorpion picked up the tea cup, the volatile toxins just dissolved in the cup and then dissolved with the tea water, turning into a mild, slow, but deadly poison!

"This is your commission." Xiao Yi smiled and handed a check to Teacher Cang.

Teacher Cang still stretched out two jade fingers to clamp them, glanced at them casually, and then was stunned.

"Why are there so many?" Teacher Cang confirmed the long list of zeros on a check again, at least three times that of an S-level task.

Xiao Yi smiled, "Compared with my brother's life, money is simply not even worth dirt."

Indeed, if Teacher Cang had not taken action this time, Xiao Yi would not be sure to take down Mrs. Scorpion without any damage to Zhao Zhidong. This woman's methods made Xiao Yi feel lingeringly scared.

Teacher Cang is not risking his life. As long as there is a little mistake in one link, don’t notice it, Xiao Yi can protect himself by relying on Guidou’s hand, but he absolutely cannot guarantee Teacher Cang’s safety. Moreover, there is also an unfathomable Lady Scorpion. Even if Hua Chou has been secretly guarding her, he has no time to take care of Teacher Cang, who is unparalleled in the world but can’t compliment her with his hand.

After returning to the villa, Xiao Yi sat on the sofa with his butt, closed his eyes, and leaned his head on the comfortable and soft backrest of the sofa.

There were Huacuo standing in the room, Zhao Zhidong, Wei Yong, and Guo Er who had just rushed back from another place, but no one spoke, and Xiao Yi seemed to be asleep.

After a long time, Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes, "Guo Er, how are the things over there?"

A trace of excitement flashed in Guo Er's eyes, "It's all done, I'm scared and paralyzed before I even beaten. It's much better than expected. It can be considered as if I'm not a bloody sword."

Xiao Yi nodded, "Although violence is the most fundamental way to solve everything, it is not a good idea. Being able to defeat others without fighting is the best strategy, and you can do it well!"

Guo Er looked excited. Every time he was praised by Xiao Yi, he felt excited. This was Brother Xiao's affirmation of himself, and it was more comfortable than any glory. Some time ago, Xiao Yi asked him to take down the territory of One Sanyi around Shuchuan. He fulfilled his mission. After he went there, he did not rush to attack. Instead, he first hosted a banquet to entertain several local bigwigs who could speak. At the dinner table, Guo Er used a big stick in turn, and finally he didn't understand that one soldier and one soldier took the territory of Three Sanyi. Although Guo Er was able to fight without blood, he mainly relied on the powerful Red Gang and Blood Wolf Gang behind him, Guo Er's ability was not tolerated, at least it means that he was no longer the crazy snake who only knew how to play life before. Now Guo Er is even more good at using his mind to do things.

"You go and do it first." Xiao Yi waved his hand and asked Guo Er to leave first.

After Guo Er left, Xiao Yi looked at Wei Yong and said, "How have the matter of the elders of the Hong Gang settled?"

Wei Yong nodded: "All living people have moved into Hongmang Community."

Hongmang Community is a high-end residential area developed by the Hong Gang in the suburbs of Yidu. This residential area is never sold to the public and is only used for the settlement of Hong Gang disciples. The veterans of the Hong Gang mentioned by Xiao Yi refer to those elderly people who have been with the Hong Gang for many years, are old, and now have little effect on the Hong Gang but are in a high position. Although these people are loyal to the Hong Gang, they are always the emperor and the ministers. Since it is useless, they should retire early to enjoy the blessings. Those important positions should be given to young people.

Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction. Wei Yong was always very satisfied with his work. Wei Yong's words just now meant that there were still a small group of people who occupied the pit and did not shit, so they undoubtedly did not belong to the "living" category.

"Don't worry about money in this regard. After all, they were also people who made great contributions to the Hong Gang. Don't lose money to them and let them live a comfortable old age."

"Brother Xiao, don't worry, I won't treat them badly." Wei Yong was meticulous and had already arranged this.

"Well, you go and do it first. I will call you if you have any questions."

After Wei Yong and Guo Er left, only Zhao Zhidong, Hua Cuo and Xiao Yi were left in the room.

Xiao Yi didn't speak anymore, just closed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.

Another quiet silence.

"Brother Xiao... This time, I was wrong, I am willing to accept any punishment." Zhao Zhidong spoke first. The first time, because of his negligence, the goods were robbed by Mrs. Scorpion. The second time, he even took his own people off by Mrs. Scorpion, and even let Xiao Yi risk his life to go deep into the tiger's den to rescue him. He felt guilty and did not even dare to face Xiao Yi.

"Oh? Is that right?" Xiao Yi actually smiled, and it was the kind of sincere smile. "Then tell me, where are you wrong?"

Zhao Zhidong opened his mouth, but suddenly realized that he didn't know what to say. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I was not good at doing things well. I was detained by Mrs. Scorpion, which implicated Brother Xiao to take the risk of saving me."

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, and no one can win forever."

After a pause, Xiao Yi continued, "What's more, if I really want to hold the responsibility accountable this time, I should bear most of the responsibility."

"Brother Xiao..."

Xiao Yi waved his hand and interrupted Zhao Zhidong's words and continued: "You lost to Mrs. Scorpion because Mrs. Scorpion is indeed very powerful. You don't know the power of Mrs. Scorpion, but I know very well how terrible Mrs. Scorpion is, but I still asked you to go to southern Yunnan to face her. This is my negligence, but I promise that I will never make the same mistake again in the future!"

"Brother Xiao..." Zhao Zhidong's voice was a little choked, and he felt something blocked in his throat, but his heart was full of gratitude and emotion.

This is how Xiao Yi is. He never condescends to think about problems because of his position. He attributes his brothers to his brothers. If he doesn't do things well, he always looks for problems from himself first.

He can still look at problems like this in a high position, and his mind and demeanor can only be summarized in two words - leader!

In the entire China Kingdom, Xiao Yi's intelligence and powerlessness are definitely not the strongest, but he can rise in the underground world of China in just a few years and become one of the three giants of the underground world of China. This is the only one who can have such ability because he relies not only on force and intelligence, but more importantly, his courage and mind, so that he can gather a group of extraordinary warriors around him and fight a vast world. No matter how strong a person is, he is not as strong as a team. Xiao Yi has been familiar with this principle since the day he decided to embark on this path.

"Remember, you are my brother. As long as I am there for one day, I will do my best to protect my brother. This is my obligation and my responsibility. Even if I encounter such a situation a hundred times in the future, I will do such a hundred times. I will never give up any of my brothers for any reason!" Xiao Yi's words came from the heart and had no intention of bribing people's hearts.

Zhao Zhidong gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously, "You are my elder brother. I promise that you will not let you take such risks in the future. This is also my obligation and my responsibility!" After saying that, Zhao Zhidong turned around and strode out of the villa.

Looking at Zhao Zhidong's back, Xiao Yi smiled with relief. He was happy to have such a brother. Many years later, Zhao Zhidong also fulfilled his promise today with his practical actions. From this day on, he never let Xiao Yi take a risk because of himself. Although the price he paid was very expensive and very heavy.

"Huawu, it seems that we haven't talked seriously together for a long time."

Huabu, who hadn't spoken, nodded and sighed softly, "It's been a long time."

"Go out and sit and have two drinks?"

"All right."

The two of them came to a hotel and ordered the largest private room, but only ordered a plate of peanuts, a plate of cold pork head meat, a plate of cucumber, and ten jars of a pound of white wine.

"I have never competed with you for wine, and I don't know how much you drink." Xiao Yi patted the seal mud on the word "陈六", and a strong fragrance suddenly filled the fragrance.

Hua Zhuo sniffed his nose and sniffed, "This should be the old wine that has been hidden in the hole for at least twenty years."

Xiao Yi laughed, "I really didn't realize that you still have this ability. You can smell the quality of the wine by just using your nose. Yes, this wine is indeed an old wine that has been hidden in the cave for twenty-five years. It is brewed by an inconspicuous old winery."

Huacuo also smiled, "My alcohol tolerance has always been very good, but I don't know if I can meet a comparable opponent and drink it so much."

Xiao Yi laughed loudly, "I'm also worried whether my opponent is someone who can accompany me to have fun."

Hua Cuo had one hand and the sealing mud on the wine jar in front of him flicked to the side, "You have to try it out before you know." After that, he picked up the wine jar and poured it into his mouth, without sprinkling a drop.

Xiao Yi also held up the wine jar and poured it into his mouth, but no drop was spilled out.

After putting down the wine jar and pouring another jar, the two of them stopped and took a breath.

"Tell me about you and Guidie." Xiao Yi wiped his lips.
