Chapter 37: Unparalleled and Unequalled

  On the front wall of the flower hall, several portraits were hung, and in front of them were some memorial tablets. An incense burner was emitting swirling smoke. It seemed that those worshipped here were the founders of the Small Knife Society and some predecessors who had made great contributions or sacrificed themselves for the society!

  In the middle of the flower hall, there is a modern touch. A red wood tea table is surrounded by several soft sofas, which seem to be somewhat out of place with the structure of the house. This should be a change that occurred after Huamanlou changed owners! But Gu Longfei didn't know these inside stories and only felt that it looked a bit awkward in his eyes, but he couldn't bear to mention it.

  After everyone sat down, two maidservants presented tea and retreated. Behind Hua Manlou stood two men with their hands hanging down, about 23 or 24 years old. The one on the left wore a Chinese-style short jacket, with a black mole on his cheek; the one on the right had a head of short hair, combed to be shiny and smooth, wearing a silver Western suit. The two were roughly the same age, their facial features also somewhat similar, their eyes sparkling with spirit, looking like martial artists. Gu Longfei watched them in secret amazement, thinking to himself that there were such people in the gang!

  Huā Mǎn Lóu saw Gǔ Lóng flying and looking at the people around him, so he smiled and said to the people behind him: "Wú Shuāng, Wú Duì, why don't you come forward and pay respects to Little Flying Brother?"

  "Yes, Father!" Wu Dang and Wu Dui walked up to Gu Long Fei, bowed their heads in respect, and called out in unison: "Little Flying Brother!"

  Gu Longfei hastily stood up, hurriedly waving his hand and saying: "Both of you brothers are not much younger than me, just call me Xiao Fei, this is too formal!" In his heart, he was secretly surprised. This Hua Manlou was sturdy and robust, with a rough face, but the son he had given birth to looked majestic on the surface, yet when speaking, he seemed refined and elegant; Moreover, the attire of these two brothers was completely in two different styles, one Chinese and one Western, what was going on here?

  "Little Fei Ge is being polite!" Hua Wu Shuang and Hua Wu said to Si Si, then bowed and returned to stand behind Hua Man Lou. They stood silently, no longer speaking, handling matters calmly and with great composure. Gu Long Fei couldn't help but admire Hua Man Lou's way of teaching his children!

  Murong Ding smiled and said: "Hua helped, these two sons of yours, the bigger they get, the more obedient they become. It's all thanks to your teaching methods, it makes people envy! Haha!" After that, he burst into a fit of laughter!

  Flowers filled the building, and in her heart, she was slightly angry. You clearly knew this wasn't my son, yet you said such a thing, aren't you teasing me? But on her face, there was still a smile: "Brother Murong is overpraising, this will spoil the child!" After finishing, she paused for a moment and said: "Today we have noble guests, we should treat them well! Wú Shuāng, go to the back hall and bring that jar of old wine, Wú Duì, go to the kitchen and arrange for them to prepare some dishes, I want to drink a good cup with Uncle Murong!"

  Huā Wú Shuāng, Huā Wú Duì answered in unison and each turned around to leave. It was only then that Gu Longfei realized that the one with a mole on his face and wearing a Chinese-style short jacket was Huā Wú Shuāng, while the other, dressed in Western attire, was called Huā Wú Duì.

  The meaning of "flowers filling the building" was very clear to Murong Ding. He opened the door and let Hua Wushuang and Hua Wu Dui out, then said: "Hua Bangzhu, since there are no outsiders here now, I'll speak directly!"

  Hua Manlou looked at Gu Longfei with a flash of sharpness in his eyes, but the look of doubt on his face lingered for a long time. He hesitated and said, "Mu Rong big brother, are you sure about this?..." After speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Gu Longfei again.

  Murong Ding's face changed slightly as he heard this, and he said: "Now that things have come to this point, do you have any other candidates? Besides, the situation is urgent, where do we still have time to find another person? Originally, Wú Shuāng and Wú Duì were not bad choices, but unfortunately, they are both handsome and elegant in appearance, but inside they are actually useless, neither good at speaking nor knowing how to coax people, how can they accomplish this task?"

  Huamanlou had some doubts about Murong Ding's decision, but seeing his firm attitude, she lowered her head and said: "Brother Murong, I didn't mean it that way. This matter is of great importance, if there is even a slight mistake, it will not only be a loss for the party and country, but also affect the lives of millions of people! Just want to be careful, since you've decided, let's do it as you said!"

  Jiulong Fei was confused, one moment they were talking about Wu Shuang and Wu Dui being unmatched, the next they were discussing something about all living things under heaven, as if they were planning to do something big and were worried about choosing the right person. Not only did they send away Wu Shuang and Wu Dui brothers, but also said it in front of him, could this matter have something to do with himself?

  Murong Ding saw that Huamanlou no longer opposed his own opinion, so he asked: "You don't have to worry about anything else now. I want to confirm one thing - is your information accurate regarding the plan?"

  The momentum of Huamanlou was originally suppressed by Murong Ding, but after hearing this, he suddenly raised his head, straightened his waist and said loudly: "How can it be unreliable? Brother Murong, you don't need to question this. What is the relationship between Feng Xiaotian and me? After he returned, he closed the door and refused to see guests, the only one he wanted to see was me, his sworn brother. The words he said to me in person, can they be fake?"

  When Gu Longfei heard the name Feng Xiaotian, he suddenly understood what they were talking about. It turned out that it was all about the "Missouri" plan! However, Feng Xiaotian had risked his life to get the "Missouri" plan, how could he easily tell a gang leader? Although Huamanlou said that he and Feng Xiaotian were sworn brothers, this matter concerned the life and death of the country and nation, how could it be casually revealed? It seems that there are still many secrets hidden inside.

  Murong Ding was extremely pleased with Hua Man Lou, seeing him say so, he knew that what he said was true, and nodded in satisfaction: "Since you are so sure, it seems that the intelligence you have grasped is real! I will repeat my plan again, you find a suitable opportunity to introduce Xiao Fei to Feng Xiaotian, after they become familiar with each other, Xiao Fei will find an opportunity to take action and get his hands on that plan!" When he said the second half of this sentence, he turned his head towards Gu Longfei, looking at him deeply, before this he had already entrusted Gu Longfei with his hopes, he hoped that Gu Longfei could understand what he was saying. Gu Longfei nodded, indicating that he understood!

  The flowers are full of buildings, seeing the ancient dragon flying with a godly expression. I know that the two of them have already made up their minds. In my heart, I feel resentful. You, Murong Ding, don't take me seriously and didn't discuss it with me, you just decided everything about the aftermath! Hmph, if this matter goes well, then fine. But if something goes wrong, watch me go to the top and report your behavior! However, due to work constraints, I have to follow discipline, so I said: "Big Brother Murong, today there's an opportunity, at that time I'll bring Xiao Fei over and introduce him to Feng Xiaotian. As for what happens later, it's all up to him!"

  Murong Ding's face lit up with joy, and he excitedly asked: "Today? So soon?"

  "Yes, today is Feng Xiaotian's birthday!" Huamanlou said with a smile: "Although Feng Xiaotian didn't hold a banquet, his relatives and friends went to congratulate him, he can't not entertain them, right?"

  Murong Ding was so excited that he slapped his leg, forgetting that it was his injured left hand. He immediately let out a loud cry of pain, but the news was too exciting to bear. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Is it true? That's great! I...I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and it's finally here!" His eyes turned red, and a few tears rolled out: "Hua...Hua Bangzhu, such a celebratory occasion, why not hurry up and bring wine?"

  Hua Manlou saw him so excited, and her heart was also infected. The slight unhappiness in her heart just now quickly dissipated. She stood up and shouted loudly towards the back hall: "Wu Shuang, where's the wine? Why hasn't it arrived yet?" Wu Shuang responded from a distance, carrying a wine jar and hurrying over. As soon as he put down the wine jar, Wu Dui also brought two food boxes back to the flower hall, opened them, and took out dish after dish of delicacies!

  Several cups and dishes were arranged on the table, the mud seal of the wine jar had been patted open, a strong aroma of aged wine wafted out, Gu Longfei was not a good drinker, smelling this aroma, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, making a 'gulp' sound in his throat.

  Murong Ding was overjoyed, the pain of his wound forgotten. Seeing Gu Longfei's drooling face, he burst out laughing and said: "Today is a rare occasion for celebration, let everyone drink a few more cups! Wu Shuang, Wu Dui, you two brothers also sit down and keep me company!"

  Hua Wushuang's face turned red as she said, "Uncle Murong, I don't know how to drink!"

  "In general, when Father is present, we usually don't go up to the table!"

  Murong Ding angrily said: "What won't drink, that's born to know! Such a big young man, really don't know how your father taught you, almost becoming a big girl! And no more nonsense, today Uncle Murong is here, your father's words can be temporarily ignored, I let you sit at the table, just sit down for me, don't dawdle!"

  Hua Wushuang and Hua Wudui looked at Hua Manlou in embarrassment, not knowing how to respond to Murong Ding's words. Hua Manlou stretched out his large hands, pulling theirs forward, saying: "Normally I'm a bit strict with you two, but since Uncle Murong has spoken, sit down, I won't blame you!" In his heart, he was secretly scolding the real Hua Manlou who had already passed away, thinking that such good material had been turned into waste by him!

  Jiulong Fei also chimed in, saying: "Right, right, right! Wú Shuāng and Wú Duì, two brothers, hurry up and sit down. We're about the same age, it's more fun to drink together!" He said this just to get them to relax a bit, but he didn't realize that these two older men, Mù Róng Dǐng and Huā Mǎn Lóu, were extremely rude.

  But Murong Ding didn't think much of it, and taking advantage of the excitement, said: "Right, Little Fei is right! You young people being together, that's really lively! Dealing with us old men every day would be boring to death!"

  Jade Dragonfly hastily said: "Mufeng big brother, I didn't mean it that way....!"

  Murong Ding waved his hand and interrupted him, saying: "Unparalleled, unmatched, hurry up and sit down!"

  Wuduan and Wudui looked at Huamanlou again, saw that there was no anger on his father's face, and secretly rejoiced in their hearts. They all sat down happily. As soon as Huawuduan sat down, he felt something was wrong, hurriedly stood up, hugged the wine jar, first filled the cups of Murongding, Huamanlou, and Gulongfei with wine, and then poured some for himself and his brother.
