Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1092 1078 [Bodhisattva of Qingtan Cave]

As a soldier, Quan Douguan has always been decisive and efficient in his work.

After answering the call from Du Yongxiao, he immediately contacted Lu Taiyu and others and agreed on a location. The members of the Seven Stars Society, or now the One Heart Society, drove together to the "Bamboo Forest Cottage" arranged by Du Yongxiao for everyone to have dinner.

Bamboo Forest Cottage is located in a relatively secluded area in the southwest of Seoul. It is a unique Chinese restaurant.

This restaurant only serves one table of guests and it serves private dishes.

In Korea, although Koreans say on the surface that they are not interested in Chinese, Chinese characters, or Chinese food.

Secretly, only those high-ranking people can learn Chinese characters and enjoy this high-level Chinese cuisine.

The indispensable accompaniments of Chinese food are usually China's four famous liquors, Maotai, Wuliangye, etc.

When Quan Douguan and his friends arrived at the restaurant, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.

It snowed heavily all day today and we just took a break now. Amidst the snow, the bamboo village is like an isolated paradise with a touch of green.

These green trees are all slender bamboos, which are like a natural barrier surrounding a small Chinese-style building.

There are red lanterns hanging outside the small building, adding a festive and warm feel to the dark and cold winter.

Quan Douguan and others had been here before, so everyone was familiar with the place.

The owner of Bamboo Forest Cottage had received the notice early and was waiting outside. When he saw everyone, he immediately stepped forward to greet them, bowed, and then invited everyone in. He walked in front as a guide, looking back every three steps, being extremely considerate.

"Mr. Du is enjoying the snow on the second floor. Please follow me." The boss went up the wooden stairs and turned back to speak respectfully to everyone in Quan Douguan.

Including Quan Douguang, there were seven people in total who went upstairs separately.

The second floor is a luxurious private room, which is hung with antique landscape paintings, pictures of ladies, incense burners, and burning sandalwood.
Next to the tea stove, Du Yongxiao leaned against the window, holding the teacup in his left hand, and admiring the snow scene outside through the window.

Yan Xiong, Zhuang Dingxian, and Jiang Ling'er were serving on the left and right.

Hearing the noise, Du Yongxiao did not turn back. Zhuang Dingxian and Yan Xiong stepped forward to greet everyone.

After a few pleasantries, Quan Douguang said to Du Yongxiao from behind: "Mr. Du, oh no, Brother Du, we are here!"

Although Quan Douguang was a soldier, he was full of bandit spirit. Last time, he took the initiative to call Du Yongxiao "boss". Now he called him directly, and there was no embarrassment at all, after all, he was a generation older than Du Yongxiao.

When Du Yongxiao heard Quan Douguang's voice, he turned around to look at him and said with a smile, "You are here." Then he told Jiang Ling'er, "Ling'er, make tea for the generals first!" He also told Zhuang Dingxian and Yan Xiong, "You two stay outside and don't let outsiders in."

Du Yongxiao was so cautious and serious in doing things for the first time, which surprised Quan Douguan and others. They looked at each other and said nothing.

Everyone sat down in order.

Jiang Ling'er took the place of the waiter and poured tea and water for everyone.

Quan Douguang and others knew Jiang Ling'er's identity and knew that she was not an ordinary woman. They nodded politely to express their gratitude when they received the tea.

After pouring the tea, Jiang Ling'er retreated behind Du Yongxiao and kept quiet.

Quan Douguan and others did not drink tea, but looked at Du Yongxiao.

"Brother Du, I wonder why you invited us here so late?" Quan Douguan was still laughing, but his tone was serious.

Du Yongxiao smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. I'm just curious, what do you think of democracy and freedom in South Korea?"

"Huh?" Quan Douguan was stunned for a moment.

Lu Taiyu and others were also surprised, and then looked at Du Yongxiao with puzzled eyes.

The meeting held by the commander-in-chief today was very secret. It was impossible for outsiders to participate, let alone know the content of the meeting. However, Du Yongxiao pointed out the theme of their meeting today with just one sentence. It was really amazing.

"Haha, Brother Du, why do you ask such a question? We are all soldiers and don't know much about democracy and freedom." Quan Douguan laughed.

Du Yongxiao: "Not knowing much doesn't mean not knowing, right?"

Du Yongxiao turned the teacup and said, "I'm just curious, what would you do if you were provoked by a democrat?"

"How to do it?" Everyone looked at each other.

Finally, everyone looked at Quan Douguang.

Quan Douguang does not hold the highest position among the group, but he is the actual leader of the Yi Xin Society.

His usual style is to drink soup while his brothers eat meat, just like Chao Gai among the Liangshan heroes, so he is respected by everyone.

Quan Douguang laughed again, picked up the teacup and took a big sip: "I am a rough man, I don't understand politics, nor do I understand Western democracy and freedom. I am not interested in the so-called one person one vote! To be precise, I think democratic election is bullshit! What is democratic election? Vote for the person everyone likes and let him be the leader? Bullshit! We Koreans all like to eat kimchi, can we vote for kimchi? What is kimchi? It is eaten to fill our stomachs! Damn it! What kind of governance philosophy do these people know? Do they know what it means to manage a country? Is it easy to manage such a big family? Everyone has the right to vote, everyone can vote! I vote for your mother!"

After a pause, Jeon Kwang-doo continued, "Those democrats have been using this excuse to ask the President for power. The President has long recognized their true colors. They are a bunch of rabble, a bunch of speculative intellectuals who are profiteering under the guise of democracy and freedom! If we really hand over the power of the country to them, just wait and see. It won't be long before the Republic of Korea will be finished!"

Quan Douguang became more and more excited as he spoke, and his face began to become ferocious.

Lu Taiyu seemed to realize something and secretly pulled his collar from below.

Quan Douguang finally stopped being angry. "Hey, look at me. I can't control my emotions and can't stop talking. Haha, everyone, have some tea!"

Du Yongxiao has always been keeping an eye on Quan Douguang. If he didn't know who this person was in his previous life, Du Yongxiao would have almost been fooled by him and thought he was a hot-tempered and outspoken person.

Although Quan Douguan spoke fiercely just now, his eyes were very clear, without any anger or other emotions. In other words, what this person said just now was actually Quan Douguan testing Du Yongxiao in return.

"General Quan is really a quick-witted man!" Du Yongxiao smiled without revealing his feelings at all.

"No matter what, I support you, General Quan. You just need to remember this!"

Quan Douguang laughed, "Haha, Brother Du is right! With your support we will surely win a great victory and wipe out all those ghosts and monsters!"

"Yes! With Brother Du's support, we will definitely be able to defend the Republic of Korea and achieve final victory!" Lu Taiyu and others also hurriedly echoed.

Seeing the emotions being aroused, Du Yongxiao no longer hesitated, put down the teacup, and said with a sincere and serious look: "Of course, if I only support you verbally, it would be too frivolous! So I must take actual action!"

Quan Douguang laughed and said, "So what is Brother Du planning to do?"

Others also looked at Du Yongxiao curiously.

They felt very strange coming here tonight, and didn't understand what Du Yongxiao's purpose was in asking them to come. Now that Du Yongxiao said he would support them and take practical action, they became a little curious.

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly and reached back.

Jiang Ling'er immediately stepped forward and handed Du Yongxiao a black card.

Du Yongxiao took the black card, put it on the table, and pushed it to Quan Douguang, saying, "Here, this is my support for you. Thank you for your efforts in launching our Du's Auto in Korea. Thank you for looking up to me, Du. I don't have much to do, but this is a great gift!" "Oh?" Quan Douguang curiously took the black card pushed by Du Yongxiao, picked it up and took a look, and said in surprise, "This is... a Chase Bank black card?"

What is a black card?
All the military leaders present here also know that this is a treasure that only the most supreme customers of a bank can possess, and they can withdraw huge sums of money from the bank anytime and anywhere.

"This card is a black card from Chase Bank. As you all know, I am friends with President Rockefeller of Chase Bank, so -" Du Yongxiao pointed at the black card, "The maximum limit of this card is 1 billion...US dollars!"

boom!
Blast!

Everyone looked at the black card in disbelief, feeling like they were listening to a fairy tale.

One billion US dollars, what a terrifying number that is for them.

Especially in this era, their military salaries are not high, otherwise Jeon Doo-kwang would not have increased the soldiers' salaries tenfold after taking power in South Korea in the future.

Du Yongxiao continued: "So if you have any special needs, feel free to swipe your card!"

boom!
Everyone's brain exploded again.

One billion dollars can be withdrawn at will?

In Du Yongxiao's words, these 1 billion are just like the instant noodles sold casually in convenience stores!
It's that simple.
easy!

Unbelievable!

"Hehe, that's ten billion, and it's in US dollars!" Quan Douguan said, "Brother Du, you are not kidding?" His tone was excited.

Although he was a soldier and had been to the battlefield, he had never been as nervous as he was now.

"Do you think I'm kidding?" Du Yongxiao asked back. "Is one billion a lot? If possible, I can add another billion!"

boom!
Quan Douguang collapsed directly.

Others feel their brains are not enough and are buzzing.

"Yes, everyone, please don't look at me with such surprise. If possible, I promise to add another ten billion!" Du Yongxiao looked at everyone and said firmly.

Quan Douguang breathed rapidly: "Brother Du, you, you, what did you say?"

"I'm telling you, in order to support you, I can give you 2 billion US dollars as a backing!" Du Yongxiao looked at everyone and said word by word.

"To be honest, you are all people who can do great things. Don't even ask me to give you 2 billion, I will be willing to do it even if it's more!" Du Yongxiao glanced at Quan Douguang, "South Korea can't do without passionate men like you, and it can't be taken advantage of by those cowards, so I will support you no matter what! Yes, absolutely!"

Quan Douguang vaguely heard something from Du Yongxiao's words-——
What does it mean when a rat takes advantage of a loophole?
Is there going to be a big change in South Korea recently?

impossible!

Just when Quan Douguang was suspicious--
Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door outside.

Zhuang Dingxian's voice rang out: "Brother Xiao, people are coming!"

Du Yongxiao nodded and said to the outside: "Let him in!"

"Yes, Xiao-ge!"

Boom!
The door to the private room opened.

Then Zhuang Dingxian came in with a man wearing ancient Korean costume.

The man wore a conical hat and held a folding fan that covered half of his face, looking mysterious.

Du Yongxiao pointed at the visitor and said, "This friend is known as the Qingtan Cave Bodhisattva. He is the most famous physiognomist. I'm sure you have heard of his name..."

"Cheongdamdong Bodhisattva?"

"I've heard of it. It's very famous!"

"Yes, yes! I've heard that he's very accurate at reading faces! Many important people have asked him to read their faces, and the commander-in-chief has also asked him to read their faces!"

Everyone started talking.

Quan Douguang looked at the newcomer in surprise, then turned to look at Du Yongxiao, "Brother Du, what are you doing——"

"Haha, nothing. I just thought that drinking tea and eating was a bit boring, so I invited him to come and read our faces." Du Yongxiao said, and then he said to the Bodhisattva of Qingtan Cave: "Master, all my friends are here. Can you help me to see how they look?"

After Du Yongxiao finished speaking, he made an inviting gesture.

Quan Douguan and others made a commotion and looked towards the Bodhisattva of Qingtan Cave.

Koreans are deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and many of them believe in fortune-telling and are very enthusiastic about it.

"Great Bodhisattva, please calculate it for me first, haha!" said one person.

The Bodhisattva of Qingtan Cave looked at that person, then looked at the others, and suddenly revealed half of his face that was covered!

His whole face looked extremely strange, with one eye being black and the other azure blue, just like a cat's eyes.

For some reason, everyone felt a tightness in their hearts when they saw the appearance of Qingtan Bodhisattva.

He was laughing and didn't say anything.

"Hey!" The Bodhisattva of Qingtan Cave sang a greeting, and paced in a strange way, looking at everyone, and finally said: "You all have the qualities of a great general!"

Everyone thought he would say something, but when he said such a plain statement, everyone laughed: "What do you mean by a great general? Many of us here are great generals!"

"Haha, is this guy a liar? He clearly knows that we are generals, so he takes the opportunity to play tricks on us—"

Before everyone finished laughing——
The Bodhisattva of Qingtan Cave suddenly walked quickly to Quan Douguang and looked him up and down carefully.

His strange behavior made Quan Douguang very curious. He touched his chin and asked, "Why are you looking at me? Am I not a great general? Yes, I am a junior general, and I am only one step away from becoming a great general, haha!"

In the midst of Quan Douguang's hearty laughter -
In full view of the public -
The Bodhisattva of Qingtan Cave closed his hand-held paper fan, pointed at Quan Douguang's forehead and said, "You are indeed not a great general--"

"Damn, how dare you——"

Quan Douguan was about to get angry. It was okay to make fun of yourself, but this charlatan dared to make fun of yourself. He was looking for death!
Before the whole Douguang burst out, the Bodhisattva of Qingtan Cave said loudly: "Because you are - the figure of the king!"

boom!
The scene was completely silent!
Everyone stared at the Qingtan Cave Bodhisattva in amazement.

Only Du Yongxiao showed a faint smile at this time.
