we are brothers

In the core area of ​​the city that never sleeps, where the flames of war are raging, the butcher is sitting in the room, eating a bucket of delicious instant noodles. While eating, the outside door opens, and Xi Du walks in, standing beside the butcher "Brother, are you looking for me?"

The butcher smiled and nodded, "Come on, come on, sit down." The butcher pointed to the bed beside him, "You're welcome, there are no outsiders here."

Xidu let out a "hmm" and sat on the bed beside him, looking at the butcher with some surprise, he didn't know what the butcher asked him to do.

"Why did you go, it took you so long to come here?"

"It's okay, what can I do, that boy Leng Hongyin, even if he buys clothes, he has to drag me with him, if he doesn't go, it's okay, he'll leave me to death, call me for everything .”

The butcher smiled, "That's right, both of you, old men, pay attention, he is quite a monster, and you two are together, can you stop people from spreading gossip?"

Xidu was a little helpless, "Brother, don't you also believe their rumors and suspect our sexual orientation?"

"No, no," the butcher said with a smile, "You two are normal men, I know, but no matter how normal a man is, don't be together all day long, pay attention, he is too, no matter when Many people dare to say I love you, isn't this just gossiping for someone?"

"This idiot" Xidu cursed loudly, "He did it on purpose, damn it, wait for me to talk about him, you know, after so many years, the two of us have formed a habit of not having a drink together every two days , I am also uncomfortable, and he is also uncomfortable."

The butcher nodded, "I know, how is he doing recently?"

"Everything is the same, it's pretty stable, and things are going better than we expected"

The butcher smiled, "That's good. Let's accumulate more and strive for the opportunity to eat Lu Chaoba in one go. Don't give him a chance to resist, and let him die without knowing how to die."

"We can deal with Lu Chaoba now."

"Not now, that old fox Wang Wei is staring at this side too closely, and I want to know what cards Lu Chaoba has. I'm worried, if this kid doesn't have cards, would he dare to come here so openly? Is it just a bet that I dare not touch him for the sake of peace in the city that never sleeps?"

Hearing what the butcher said, Xidu squinted his eyes, "It's really possible that you said that, this Lu Chaoba must have other cards in his hole."

"That's why I said, know yourself and know your enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles, and don't fight uncertain battles, so I will touch him again. Anyway, the longer the time delays, the better for us. We can afford it, but they can't."

"I see, brother, you came to me because you wanted to talk about this matter, right?"

The butcher smiled and shook his head, "Of course there are other things." He glanced at Xi Du, "Xi Du, how long have you been with me?"

"It's been more than ten years, brother, why do you want to ask me this all of a sudden?"

"It's okay." The butcher said with a smile, "This is for you." After finishing speaking, he took out a dagger from behind him. The forged dagger was casually thrown in front of Xidu by the butcher.

This time Xidu panicked, "Big brother, big brother" he stood up quickly, not daring to pick up the dagger "Big brother, what do you mean, don't be kidding, I can't take this"

The butcher smiled, "It's for you, just take it. What are you afraid of? Is it shameful?" The butcher pointed at the dagger, "Take it"

Xidu narrowed his eyes and shook his head, "No, this is yours. This is the "Everbright City Jade Seal" that symbolizes the supreme leader of the Evernight City. I can't take it, absolutely can't take it"

"You take it." The butcher smiled, "Leave a way out for yourself. If something happens to me accidentally one day, you remember to pick up the stalls in our city that never sleeps. You are the person I trust the most. I have been by my side for so many years, and I have taught you everything I can teach you. You are doing well, and I am quite satisfied with everything you do. I just don’t want anything to happen to me in the future. , The Nightless City was taken by Lu Chaoba. This golden blade was snatched from the last city lord when I killed him. It has been kept here for more than ten years. The golden blade is in the eyes of some old antique shopkeepers in the Nightless City , that is the only symbol of the city lord. No matter how united Lu Chao is in his southern city, there are still a few old shopkeepers that he dare not move and cannot use. These old shopkeepers usually don't participate in anything, but they are very united with each other. They are not a force to be underestimated when they are united. Everyone is a hidden old goblin. Afraid of offending these old goblins, when dividing the urban areas, they did not divide their stores into four urban areas. Even though they belong to the city that never sleeps, they do not need to pay taxes. They are all tax-free households. You know this. Moreover, at the very beginning, I held the golden blade, and these old guys helped me a lot. After so many years, although their storefronts are still in the city that never sleeps, they are basically outside the city that never sleeps, and they have never intervened They are people from my Nightless City, but they are not within the control of my Nightless City, but they are all old antiques. Their thinking is very feudal and they are very clique. The Nightless City is their root. This golden blade, for them, is already a kind of belief, and it will play a role in the future."

"In short, you take care of this golden blade. In case something happens to me in the future, if you hold this golden blade, at least it is justified. If you hold this golden blade, you can use those old shopkeepers. Lu Chaoba and the others know that There is a golden blade, but I don’t know the function of this golden blade, and it’s all just a symbol of the city lord. I also found out about this by super super accidental chance. In short, you must keep this secret in your heart, don’t tell anyone"

The butcher looked at the glittering golden blade on the bed, "The old antiques all swore poisonous oaths in front of these golden blades. They are very superstitious, so this golden blade is not just a symbol of the city lord." .”

"Brother, don't be like this, you are still fine now, look at you."

"I told you to take it and you took it." The butcher's eyes became more serious, "You know, everyone lives with their heads hanging on their belts. If something happens to me one day, and this golden blade falls into your hands, it will always be Better than falling into someone else's hands, you know, all right."

The butcher began to eat noodles again, "Tell me about the situation these days, and you put on this golden blade."

Xi Du looked at the golden blade of the "Jade Seal of the Nightless City" thrown on the bed by the butcher, squinted his eyes, and fell into deep thought...
