Big man

1 - Leopard Teeth

Night falls.

Qingyuan City shrouded in twilight was brilliantly lit.

Qingyuan is under the jurisdiction of Yidong Province and is located at the junction of three provinces and cities. It is considered the largest city in the west of Yidong Province.Hundreds of miles around are full of lofty mountains, Qingyuan City is like a bright pearl in the night sky, shining charmingly among the mountains.

Of course, nothing compares to a real metropolis.

As the first-class "big brother" in Qingyuan City, Chen Guo is not a bumpkin. He has been to many places and seen many things in the world.Chen Guo has been to the capital, Mingzhu, Jiangkou, and Shancheng, the most prosperous metropolises in the country.It was really amazing, but Chen Guo didn't feel it.Because in those cities, he had no roots, he was nothing, and no one knew who he was.Only by returning to Qingyuan City can Chen Guo regain the feeling of being the boss.

Now, Chen Guo is leaning over the railing of the corridor on the second floor, holding his most beloved Leopard Tooth pipe in his mouth, looking very comfortable.This leopard tooth was taken out from the leopard's mouth when he personally butchered a hungry adult leopard in the deep mountains.After many years, Chen Guo seemed to be able to feel a bit of the hostility of the fierce leopard back then from the leopard tooth pipe.

In Qingyuan City, Chen Guo was indeed proud.

For example, the magnificent Qingyuan Hotel under his feet is as high as twelve floors, and it is the largest, most upscale and most luxurious hotel in Qingyuan City.Live and dance every night, day and night.For the eastern and western mountainous areas of Yidong, where the per capita annual income is less than 2000 yuan, the consumption of Qingyuan Hotel is unbelievable.

It is said that staying in the most luxurious suite of Qingyuan Hotel for one night will cost the total annual income of ordinary people.If you want to play something else, a year's income is far from enough.

Not to mention the mountain people deep in the mountains, even ordinary office workers in Qingyuan City can only look up to the Qingyuan Hotel and never dare to step in.Those who can enter the Qingyuan Hotel are all extremely rich people, either rich or expensive.

From this, it can be seen how awe and admiration Qingyuan people have for the owner of this hotel, the big boss Chen Guo.

Of course, most people in Qingyuan are a little puzzled, why such a luxurious hotel can be supported in such a remote mountainous city, and they don’t know how those rich people who come in and out of the hotel every day, wearing gold and silver Where did it come from.

Certainly not from Qingyuan, at least not all of them.

It is impossible for Qingyuan to have so many rich and big bosses.

The secret is on the twelfth floor of Qingyuan Hotel.

Right under Chen Guo's feet.

The entire twelfth floor is a huge hall with an area of ​​thousands of square meters.

Dozens of luxurious crystal chandeliers illuminate the entire hall like daytime.

There are quite a few people in the lobby, including the service staff of the hotel, there must be 200-200 people. With [-] people scattered in the hall of thousands of square meters, it didn't seem so crowded.

Chen Guo believed that among these guests, some of them might be richer than him, and might even be several or ten times his.

In today's world, there are too many rich and powerful guys.

Chen Guo knew how big the outside world was.

In real big cities like Jiangkou and Mingzhu, rich people with millions of dollars in wealth may be more than the entire population of Qingyuan City.

Qingyuan City is the largest distribution center of Chinese herbal medicine at the junction of three provinces and cities in Southwest China.More than half of the fiscal revenue of the entire Qingyuan City depends on this medicinal material market.

The Qingyuan Hotel is the most high-end trading place for precious medicinal materials.

Those who can go up to the lobby on the [-]th floor of Qingyuan Hotel to conduct transactions are not ordinary people.There are great medicinal material merchants, tycoons in the rivers and lakes, masters with unique skills, and even government officials who hide their identities.

No matter what your status is, as long as you are qualified to enter the trading hall of Qingyuan Hotel, you are absolutely safe.Here, no one will check your details, no one will ask you about the origin of the trading items you took out, let alone worry about your money being exposed.

Chen Guo, Chen Qiye absolutely guarantees your safety.

People cannot stand without faith.

This is a truth that Chen Guo has understood for many years in the rivers and lakes.It is precisely because of understanding this truth that Chen Guo was able to change from a small apprentice in a pharmacy to the master of the underground world of Qingyuan City. Famous big shot.

All the pao brothers in the three provinces of Yidong, Bashu, and mountain cities, whoever saw Chen Guo, would respectfully address him as "Seven Masters".Only the words of Huang Sanye, the helmsman of Brother Pao who lived in a mountain city, would work for Chen Qiye.

In Qingyuan, no one could pose a real threat to Chen Qiye.

Unless it was a big shot in Lingyan City, the capital of Yidong Province, Chen Guo would be in awe.

After all, the world is different, and the power in the official world is not something that the underground world can contend with. Otherwise, Chen Guo wouldn't spend so much money every year to make connections.

It is absolutely impossible to cover the sky in Qingyuan's underground world without a strong man on the stage.

Chen Guo was always sober about this.

The big man in the provincial capital only needs to lift a little finger, not to mention smashing his body to pieces, at least destroying his huge foundation in Qingyuan and his hard work for more than ten years.

Fortunately, the Qingyuan Hotel only traded some medicinal materials, and at most had some entertainment, so it wouldn't be a big deal.

Chen Guo hadn't done the bloody thing for a long time.

In Qingyuan City, no one dared to play tricks with Chen Qiye.Unless he was really impatient to live and was in a hurry to find death, Chen Qiye would fulfill him, and that would be called helpless.

There are 200 people in the hall, and the real guests may be less than [-]. The rest are staff members, no less than the number of guests, and the service is very good.

Since all the people who come here are masters, they must have the dignity of "fathers". This rule cannot be abolished anywhere.

This is why Chen Qiye and Qingyuan Hotel are particularly popular with guests.

Who cares about money for customers who can go to the hall on the [-]th floor of Qingyuan Hotel to trade?What you care about is enjoyment and face, and you must not be wronged.

Chen Guo treats the guest as his master, and the guest also treats him as his master.

Every time a trade fair is held, Chen Guo will come to sit in person in person, just because she is afraid that someone will make trouble.No one in Qingyuan City dared to cause trouble in Chen Qiye's place, but that didn't mean others didn't dare.There are many rich and powerful customers among the customers.

The signboards of Chen Qiye and Qingyuan Hotel cannot be smashed.

Chen Guo smoked the leopard tooth pipe, squinted her eyes, and slowly scanned the hall.

Chen Guo is in her early 40s, with a standard figure, and there is no trace of fat on her lower abdomen. Over the years, Chen Guo has never really given up on her kung fu.It was passed on to him by the immortal master when he was a young apprentice in a pharmacy.It wasn't until the master died that Chen Guo knew that this old immortal guy was once a well-known ruthless character among the Paoge Twelve Taibao in several provinces in the Southwest. , Wasted the lives of many heroes.

Without this background, how could Chen Guo dare to go to the mountains alone to collect herbs, how could she have dared to confront the extremely hungry leopard with her bare hands?Forcibly breaking off all three fangs of the leopard, leaving only one intact, carved into a pipe.

Chen Guo's eyes were very sharp. There were 200 people in the hall, and as he slowly scanned them, everyone could be clearly distinguished.For those who practice martial arts, bad eyesight is a big taboo. No matter how hard you study and practice, your achievements will be very limited.

Suddenly, Chen Qiye's eyebrows twitched.

He saw two new faces.

very young.

They were two young men, a man and a woman. Chen Guo's eyes lingered on them for a long time.

Two young people are sitting at table 27.

The layout of the trading hall of Qingyuan Hotel is similar to that of an exhibition. Each guest has one or even several independent seats, sofas, coffee tables, and glass exhibition stands.Guests place the precious medicinal materials they bring in glass booths or directly on the tea table to trade with other guests.

The tea table and glass exhibition stand are not big, but very delicate.But that's enough.Those who come here to trade are all rare and high-quality goods, rare treasures such as sixth-grade old mountain ginseng, formed Polygonum multiflorum, and natural snow spirit insects deep in the Miaojiang area. pop up.The trading hall of Qingyuan Hotel is not a roadside stall.

There are not many good ones.

The coffee table and the glass booth at table 27 were clean, nothing could be seen.

These two guests have not yet brought out the items they used for the transaction.

But what Chen Guo cared about was not medicinal materials, but these two people.They were all in their twenties. The young man was wearing a plain white Tang suit, which was made of cotton and linen, not silk. He was wearing a pair of old cloth shoes.He is of medium height and cannot be seen from a sitting position. He is estimated to be around 1.7m[-]. He has a handsome face and a strong bookish air. He does not look like a wealthy businessman, nor does he look like a government official, nor does he look like The unscrupulous tycoon in the rivers and lakes has the taste of a master outsider.

Holding a blue and white porcelain cup, slowly sipping tea, it seemed that the whole person was very gentle, without showing any sharpness.If it wasn't for his youthful appearance, just looking at his demeanor, he would have thought he was a middle-aged man over forty.

The young woman with him was standing.

The clothes are very ordinary, and this kind of plainly dressed young girl can be seen at any time on the streets of Qingyuan.Shoulder-length black hair, good-looking, very pure.The first impression it gives people is that it is clean.

Not the kind of clean in the usual sense, but refreshing.

Over the years, Chen Guo has seen too many young girls with heavy make-up, coquettish hair, who call themselves "old lady" in their teens, wishing to announce to the world that she is not a virgin.

Such a clean, refreshing girl is really rare.

The young girl just stood beside the man, strangely quiet.

Suddenly, Chen Guo became dizzy.

Chen Guo was taken aback, and quickly collected herself. She didn't know where this dizzy feeling came from. It seemed that it was because she stared at the girl for a while longer.

How can such a thing happen?

Chen Guo's complexion changed slightly, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. ;
